Sneak peak today. Went in for a seat fitting so they can weld in the seat mounts in the best location for me. Unfortunately I took terrible photos
but looks great so far. Tubing is as close to the chassis as possible, welds look beautiful and the bends are super smooth rather than sharp and weak. Still lots to do of little jobs but the big job is done, need to start working out my paint strategy now. If I lived somewhere hot I would probably leave it as its a shame to cover up such lovely welds and beefy looking steel tubing, but as with everything here it will rust...
I have seen a couple of mk5's out there with the tubing welded to the floor instead of rear turrets which seems either a massive oversight or juts a cheaper/easier way to do it. Not sure why you would leave the opportunity to link the rear turrets together and attach the cage to a stronger parter of the car as opposed to what I presume it double skinned flat sheet steel..
