Now that the car has a new brain, it was time to start preparations for the cage.

On recommendation of fellow MN rally enthusiast, Carl Siegler (Carlvr4 on this site), we decided to use former Prodrive World Rally Team crew chief (for Richard Burns), Graham Evans for the cage. The logic being, if we are doing triple digits on gravel, scant inches from oak trees, we should probably go with a top-shelf safety cage.

The cage was assembled off and on for the next few months, lovingly fused together with grinders, welders and a steady stream of coarse language directed at the cramped interior dimensions of the vehicle...

Precision work

All finished

...and then cleanup and paint
