My saxo VTS track project!

[Leigh5T]

Well it's been a while!
I feel like i've spent hours on the saxo over the last couple of months but don't seem to be getting anywhere!
I get in the garage to do 1 job and end up finding another 3 jobs to do.

Heres a bit of my recent progress anyway..............

Time came to tackle the rusty/scruffy bits underneath!!

How it was when i started....



Gave it some hammer with the flap wheel and cut some unused brackets off.
I also cut and welded the section in for my tow strap. I strengthened this with a flat bar inside the box section.
Lick of underseal and we are getting there!

gave the beam a quick paint whilst it was off

What a pig to put the beam up on your own!!!




Next thing i did was to cut the sunroof out



Gonna finish the sunroof when i can get some material.

Been trying to get round to welding the cage mounts for a while so decided to bite the bullet!











The bolts i had were too long so i've gotta sort some new ones out.
Once thats sorted im gonna weld plates to the front of the mounts to complete the box.
Still to do the front half of the cage but its a good start i suppose.

Knocked this up too........



Excuse the poor pics







It really is mega stiff!
Not sure if it'll be a little too stiff to be honest

Nice bush work there!! You can never be too stiff
