Added some tubes, comments welcome Options

I had some strut braces and plates fabricated that I hope will make the car a little tighter.
Used chrome-moly and made them removable as car is not street legal with permanent bars in those sections.
The pic of the bar underneath the front suspension ties the control arms togrther and also protects the front mounts from being damaged by offs at the track.
I also re-inforced the lower windshield posts with plates and tubes and will post pics later.

In the meantime.. what do you think? Bear in mind car is for road use mostly with occasional track days.

Thanks for all the feed back.

As far as adding weight is concerned, the tubes are thin wall chome-moly totalling around 20 kg including main hoop and through bars and by using fibreglass bonnets and bumpers this will more than compensate for the additional steel.

I realize a full cage would be much better but I just don't want to do that. All I really wanted to do was try and minimize inside front wheel lift off during hard cornering and stop cracking windshields.

I've added door bars that go as far forward to longs as possible with big plates that triangulate longs to main hoop that should contain twisting to some degree.. all in all it has to better than nothing.
