This needs some mods.

Are the mounting points for the trailing arms in the stock location? I've seen this problem happen before

What problem?
The rear is narrowed by 19cm. I had to cut of the framehorns to place the mounting points.

Started on the cage today. With these holes I can lower the cage a bid and weld the up side.


Bending the bends in the wright position and keeping it straight is a PITA.


Did you see my special cupper angle measure tool ;D

De first hoop is in.



I made the connection to the gearbox mount with tape, this way I can measure the angle I need.

DAMN, why didn't I notice this before. After checking the cage measurements, I found out that the gearbox wasn't in line with the middle of the car.



So time to start over again. (attempt nr. 3)
