GTO running gear must have cost a pretty penny, nice car man, purest in the states would probably be alittle upset but hey light weight/high horsepower whats not to love.
This makes me wonder what a Honda Civic with a LS2 would look like. I think it would upset at least one or two people.

Very nice....
Although, I'd have thought extending the cage further forward, along with a horizontal bar behind the dash would have ben a good idea ??
then extending forward to the strut towers ??
Also....how the hell do ya get at all the tricky bits to weld lol....

Thanks Stevie ![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
Cant run a horizontal bar behind the dash, `cause the clutch pedal box/master cylinder is internal.
I want to refit the O.E. dash and the rest of the trim, so not connecting to the front strut towers. There will be extra chassis members underneath and a top strut brace eventually.
