Being still a student (very low budget!) and living in Malta (very expensive performance parts .. €620 for an OMP cage :shock: ) I decided to custom fabricate a rollcage for my hybrid project.
I thought I'd share some photos my dad took while I was working..
This is how the cold drawn steel tubings looked after picking them up from a local metal worker. He's done all the bending I needed with some steel rod templates I made for him.
