Looks great. I love a good cage.

This weeks job has been making an overhead switch panel. This will be welded to the roll cage and is hinged for access. I'll paint this in black wrinkle finish I reckon.

A couple of hours with the die grinder and a ton of dust later, dash fits neatly round the cage.

Switch panel fitted and cage painted. Headlining in next I think, I'm sure that will be a laugh...
