Haven't been in the garage for a few weeks now. No Guss cage will order from Finess.

But the cage money was used for the GAZ groupbuy, so it will take some more time before I order the cage.

Have also checked prices to get the cage mounted.

The firewall is now finished and I have start planing for the cage.

My brother had his Punto GT in the garage the other day so I had to test if my wheels fitted over his brakes.

Seems to work. :)
