Making my own rollcage!!!
Hi guys...
I'm here now for a small time but never really introduced myself, so here I go; I'm Wiebrand Bunt an 21 year student from Holland. I'm now for almost 2,5 years busy on my car. It's in full resto and still lays apart till the last bolt. My car is a 1303 S with an original 1600 engine. In the 2,5 years till now all the rust of the car is gone and is replaced with imitation or self-made platework. There are Remmele-look airintakes in the sides of the car. There are boxes welded on the back for mounting an aluminium highwing. There will be no interior except of 2 seats, an dash, and AN ROLL CAGE!! And about that rollcage I want to show you some pics of the progress of it. At first I picked up the 6 meter lengths of tube. http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fo...2004221753.jpg Quite an length 6 meters Testtube is bended and welded to getter.. looks damn nice!!
