Today I continued to knock off TODO items. First I installed the trunk struts. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to have two? But I received two with the kit. I used one on the hood and the other in the trunk.

I then proceeded to attach the roll bar. It was quite the challenge. First step was to dry fit it. Early on I was able to get it on the mounts, but I could no longer do it. So I used a jack to spread the hoop. I took my time and did it over several passes. Eventually it fit.

Next I installed the bolt-less roll bar kit from 520 SpeedWorks.

It went pretty smoothly, but it took some grinding to get the parts to fit. My recommendation is to dry fit it and make sure it’s aligned before trying to install it in the car. The pieces need to be perfectly centered on each tube for it to work when it’s in the car. Hopefully it all lines up again once the body is on!
