Nice work except for one small detail.. The power cable through the firewall appears to rest against bare metal. Personally I would put a rubber plug in there to protect the power cable isolation.

yep thats almost the plan mate, money is very tight so can't see it having a cage for a while. I've already got a pair of 17" race slicks for the 1/4mile (altho i need wheels lol)

lexan windows are needed. You could also cut out the spare tire well and just weld in some sheet metal.

like the direction you are taking the car. But you seem desperate to beat ur brothers time lol.

I'd get 16' light weights , + try making the car more some stockish on the outside.
The holes in the bumper + the timing cover being missing = :(
