That roll cage won't pass tech for most sanctioning bodies. The main hoop (B pillar) needs a single piece diagonal from the corner above the driver's head to the to the corner on the floor behind the passenger seat. Even if you don't intend to race the car on the track yourself, you should build the cage so it is possible to do so in the future. Plus, the cage would be safer with the diagonal.

Hi Scott
thank you for your input, cage has been inspected by CAMS here in Australia, no problem, we sent them a sketch before construction as well. Car will be used by me at targa tassie and some track events.

if you are going coil over you should reinforce between rear shock absorber pickup points at rear.

Hi Guys
Resurrecting this thread! With life and priorities changing, Adam passed the batton to me circa 6 months ago. I have chosen to go the IROC path. It still needs some general finishing and fetling but it's looking close to how like it. Here are a couple pics of it at a Porsche Club Queensland function (50th anniversary) last night.




Will report back with track pics soon, I hope!!!
