Nice workmanship fella, correct me if i'm wrong, but your upper harness mount may need a little more bracing.

 , For info just looked up the forces involved, a 30mph crash subjects the upper harnesses to a force of 2.4 tons.
Cars looking great, nice to see more being built to such a high standard.

cheers guys
im probably going to remove the threaded fittings completly and mount the harness to the cage, which is going to be cross braced and diagonaled to the
chassis....

Looking good
I can't see any brake pipes or master cylinders installed yet. I wouldn't fit the engine and gearbox untill you have run the brake and
fuel lines, unless it is only a trial fitting of course.
