    Wondering why you didn't plug the ends of the tubes on the exoskeleton? Would have just "finished it off" if you get what I mean?

    Looks like a blast. Please weld a grab handle for the passenger inside the roll cage. Grabbing the top bar in a roll over will amputate your hand. Now go do this to a rusted out RX8.

    Id love to see at the end of these videos them taking their cars for an MOT just to see how many things it would actually fail on. Kinda like a competition to get the longest list of majors, minors and advisories
