No, i have stopped working on it till the house renos are finished. Wifes orders. Should be able to start on it again at the end of the year or early next year. I have just got myself a temporary track na6 till this one is finished, that way i won't rush the build. The silver one is up for sale as the guy has changed his mind.

I look forward to getting back into it. In the mean time i am saving money and buying parts for it.

can you give us some sort of idea on what the cage costs? would like something similar if i can afford it.

If you are going wide body what are you looking at to fill the arches?

A cage like that will set you back about $4,000. If anyone is really keen the twin car to this one is still for sale for less than the price of the cage. I am filling the guards with my 15x9" 949 wheels and some 30mm spacers. It won't fill the guards right up, but when i get the time and money the guards will be full.
