	Hmph! I wanted to do the front suspension on me chugga this weekend but it p*ssed down all day yesterday. I slept till midday today to give it a chance to pull its socks up, and when I woke up the sun was shining. By the time I got my kegs on and went outside it was raining. Now its a fugging monsoon with bursts of driving sleet and snow TYPICAL

	Managed to get some done on mine today, started fitting the roll cage to the MG today only to find where the cage locates in two places it impossible to get access to the back to bolt it in place

	This, Its fits spot on, bought it second hand for the bargain price of £40! It bolts onto the inner wheel arches no problem but the four bolts where its sits on the box section you simply can't access it behind to fit backing plates and bolt it up, i knew there was going to be problems when i drilled the holes and could see no daylight!! Looks like i'll have to weld it in place.

	Yeah i've whipped the rear seat out as its pointless like you say, Its funny when i use the mg to pick up 2 mates and one has to lie across the back seat lol it looks so uncomfortable not tried it myself though and don't plan to!

	Yeah we might end up doing something like that, my dads a sheet metal wokrer by trade (makes spraybooths) so he will knock something up at work this week and if it don't work we will weld it in place as i'm not planning to remove it anytime soon.

	My advice is don't try to sit in the back, My mate picked me up in his a few moths back from a night on the curse word and i had to sit across the back in his bloody hurts hitting my head on the side window on ever corner, Can really get in the back of mine i set the seat positions right back and fitted a bracket to the runner, really so What was my GF could not drive her LOL
