The bar in the door that the gas ram is connected to is fiberglassed in but ive had to put more support in the door with these bolts

Threading the holes for an easy fit

All finished only one side left to do

Outer door skin on the door frame


Opening and closing the door seems to be working fine still a bit of adjusting to get it spot on

Closing panel for the front windscreen all fitting perfect and primered

Was at the printers today to collect this the Lamborghini bull sticker on the inside of the roof it works well with the matt black

Ok i have been looking at roll cages the last few days and nothing will fit my car so i am going to make a template out of wood and my local engineering shop will make one for me. Here i go just picture the wood as round bars it wont look that bad :-)


The steel bars are just in there for support of the wood
