CRCRFT:
Thanks for asking.
When I work or I play, there always seems be a lot of irons in the fire. (Sometimes too many)

Warning big Tangent Ahead
=============================
"She Devil" is awaiting some very crucial parts, however I have got the Cage in the car now and have had the three link modified for better performance. (Instead of saving the back seat as originally designed, I had the bar lengthened for better geometry as well as some adjustment changes.) With a good cage in it and some cross bracing, your back seat is effectively rendered useless. I think it has what it needs now. (Enough rear room for a couple suitcases, and a "Cool Suit" ice box. I found one on ebay for a decent price.
A shop that makes some very expensive race cars was used to do the rear suspension modification work. Since I was having rear weights jacks put in the car, I needed to step it up a notch from the average builder. I like how it is now as you can adjust how the rear sits, and adjust the weight balance very easy and quickly.
The cage that was installed is not only for safety it is also extremely rigid now. There is a lot of cross bracing designed into it on several different planes. Sound confusing? I'll try and get some pictures to help explain what was done. (My description might be in error so some pictures will help)
Until then here are a couple more pictures I have of the car with the PS Engineering wheels on it, and it shows a bit of the cage.
Enjoy.
