The diagonal needs a horizontal brace to be correct.
With the last piece of spare tubing, it was a quick addition to tack in. I used a level to make sure it will look right in the car.
Now all tacked up and ready to weld completely.
Much easier to do with the bars out of car. That is why it was temporarily fastened in the car.
Now ready for re-installing. Have to clean welds and primer them again first.
Next the forward bars.
Then after welding in tabs to connect the whole cage to the A and B Pillars, it will become part of the car's integrity and make the car very stiff.
We are ready for paint at that point and when the glass is installed the Targa to Coupe conversion will be complete.
You're all going to love the planned paint scheme, LOL.
Still need a wiring harness for a MFI car.
Will assemble a 2.4 motor soon from vintage parts found in the shed.
Lastly will have to find a good 915 gearbox with lmt. slip.
