Ya this one is the roadracing one. There is the rallye version that has the spare tire on the roof rack and the stock one. Its getting there ...but I always lag on putting the final touches on..

LOL sorry i must be blind 2day!:uhoh:

are you going to put roll bars around the drivers seat ?

I was thinking about it...one of the reasons I havent sealed it up. I just wasnt too sure on the layout, or if it would look right. Choices... choices

here is a picture of a roll cage built for a mini cooper, if you wanna use it for a reference

:eek7: Ummm wow...thanks for the reference pic. Im not sure Ill be able to fit the bar down the driverside. I still havent put in the inside of the doors. If I start to try and make that....Ill prolly never finish. I dont think it will get that detailed. If I find some matching diameter pieces Ill see what I can do but I doubt it.
