    There appears to be a giant girder between your rear suspension mounts... I like it!

    Though I guess it's just for rigidity whilst there's no floor?

    That bar will be fully welded in and the engine top mount will be welded onto it

    Welded a temporary frame across the back today, this will give me something to bolt the strut towers to, so that I can adjust the placement acurately before starting to weld everything in,
