R32 RollCage Build and Pics of the New Shop!

[Laguna7]

What up people! Don't post a whole lot anymore but thought I would share what i've been up to lately. Me and my brother just opened up a shop 2 months ago and I just got done building a rollcage for a VW R32, heavy car but pretty cool none the less, it's an AWD hatchback with a 3.2L VR6.





Here's the Shop!














Here's pics of my little Fab area




Where the Magic happens lol...

Here the R32 cage, I wasn't able take pics of the building process. However, it's not finished I still need to add door bars and gussets to it.

















Not my best work but I think the welds came out ok considering how hard it is to do...

big ups on the shop and lime green toolbox! i have a classic60 with a top box in the same color.

when's the lift being put in or would that be against the rules for the lease?

ill be looking for you for some custom metal work ryan.

its been a long time since we kicked it! glad everything is working out for you.

[Laguna7]

Thanks Jed! Yea I saw Tony he stopped by about a month ago. Snap-On box is my brothers not sure the model but it's brand new. We want to put a lift in but just need the $$ were still pretty broke lol School starts next week for me so I want be working full time but I plan on buying alot more tools a building a 10pt cage for my Rx7 in the next coming months. We also have an E36 shop car that's going to get a cage too haha Thanks Guys!

that car looks so small lol

Talk about MIA man. Good to see you back Ryan


I'm guessin the Accord was sold off already huh? Did you ever finish it?

[Laguna7]

Yea the Accord was actually given to Tony AKA:Raceboy on here after I parted it out. Just lost interest in it really. I've been wanting to build another car for awhile but I'm going to wait. I've been spending car money on new tools and it's been paying off little by little lol Still need a few big tools to really start building the things I want too.

Also that R32 aint small lol It weighs in over 3000lbs and sucked up about 80ft of tubing for what you see there lol 1 diagonal for the x brace was 56" long

[HenRoc]

Is it going to be strictly a track car? Beautiful fab work though but damn 80 ft of tubing???

i thought the title meant r32 skyline.

Cage looks dope Ryan.. Congratulations once again

[Davids92Accord]

hey ryan so what else is your shop going to be specializing besides making custom roll cages?

[Laguna7]

Yea it's a track only car. R32 stands for really expensive Golf lol My brother is an awesome mechanic so at the moment we specialize in Auto Repair. I'm starting school next week so I won't be "working" a whole lot until I graduate in june, then i'll jump in full time. We would both like to get into performance but it's nice to have regular jobs that pay the bills in case there isin't too much of that type of work. I still need a few tools but I can pretty much weld anything and my fab skills are getting better. Welded some Titanium the other day and that was by far the funnest thing i've ever worked with. I'll end up doing side jobs though while i'm in school. I can build cages, front-mount set ups, hand made exhaust, intakes things like that. I haven't had the chance to make a complete manifold yet but i'm going to try to very soon.
