At this stage myself and the family were starting to think about relocating back to the UK, I have lived in the US for 3 years but work commitments mean we are heading back home...
Roll bar arrived, great UPS packaging...
Then tried to get it to fit, firstly I had to cut out the previously welded in 'rear seat' panels, and after much frustration decided to reduce the size of the mounting plate instead, which meant having to re-weld the panel! Very frustrating process but the final solution looks and performs great.
Plenty of other more important things to do but couldn't resist getting the drill out on the bonnet hinges...it took 10 times longer than I thought and all for a grand total of 125g weight savings, but looks kinda cool now thats its powder coated.
Another case of adding more work. I have seen some examples of RSR's converted to a single wiper so decided to give it a go, cut out old wiper mounts, reposition, and fill in holes. I still need to sort out the wiper motor, choices are 924/944 maybe mk1 golf? but again, I like the look...
The dash was pretty badly beaten up with various radio modifications so decided to cut out and repanel. The area where the ash tray was will be a double row bank of toggle switches for lights and wiper etc. Still need to mock-up knee pad/panel support bar.
