It downwards the thing is going.

Oxallic acid for the rust and some washing powder . It won’t attack the grp. As for sides I might suggest a press stud tonneau type vinyl or using boat canopy turn buttons, not sure about the net thing as it would be flappy and maybe look like a stock car 🚘

you might want to wait until you can drive it to decide what to do with the doors, I briefly drove my series 2 Landie with the doors off, it was down right uncomfortable and freezing cold on a day when it was perhaps 15 deg C. Maybe you would find something like a bond bug door better for the UK!

from the pictures posted so far it looks like it's all cortina with coil springs front and rear which will make lowering a much simpler operation. (air sprngs would also be an relatively easy fit)

Ask exhaust bending guys (US car scene). They can probably help you with pipe bending.

ps: looks great now, would not lower it too much. Wheels look great, only need 70 or 80 series M+S tyres. 

Looks like it’s cleaned up well Grizz

That cage looks scrap, if your looking to save weight and add lightness, might I suggest a more braced cage in T45 which is both light and strong, bars that extend down the windscreen pillar to the chassis and a bar across the top and behind the dashboard and a cross brace for the belts to pick up at roughly shoulder height at the rear. I'm sure that somewhere on the net I've seen sites that allow you to check stresses in your chosen design. Looking forward to the engine choice and power output.

Personally for the utilitarian look I’d stick to white and black combos for a jeep style but if you fancy having fun with a livery then it screams camel Dakar rally style to me.

Maybe over played and passe though?

Wow, Rian, I've just spent another hour catching up on the fastest growing thread on the Internet and boy was it worth it to see the boyish grins on your face. It's been a while! To be truly functional, the rollbar needs to be mounted much more securely than 2 bolts on a skinny plate. As for size you may want to check sizes of tubing bender dies as most are made to do 2" as a maximum or around 50mm. I would recommendt at least .120"/3mm wall thickness for the same safety and strength reason. Most racing bodies recommend a minimum of 36 sq in of mounting plate, but with a fibre body, a 10mmx75mmx75mm plate welded to the frame should suffice leaving room for 4 threaded holes to bolt the rollbar to. I would really recommend going with a similar rollcage like the example you pictured in orange for chassis strength and safety.

How about some rear suspension pics?
