Are you redoing the roll cage Brendan?

What are you doing differently to the last one? What changes are you making to it?

not re-doing.. more like finishing it off and adding to. Mical has a demon welding machine that he can squeeze into places that werent welded up tight before.

We are at the same time adding more front chassis strength by adding side and bottom braces ( bottom brace is in the pictures in the past few posts ). Im keen to see if the side braces alleviates the A pillar flex. These s13 shells are so light & flimsy especially when running stiff suspension and.. when you stiffen one part the flex just gets moved to the next weakest point, so its all over bracing or nothing... IMO

not redoing the roll cage just welding it up the guy who did it left half the welds so it only welded where you can see it hahaha so i recon in a accedent it would crumble
