Leeshez · May 23, 2006

Nice when is it going in?

Zorba_the_greek · May 23, 2006

thats going to be a b+stard to fit........cut it down to size with the pump action

RacerStu · May 23, 2006

Are you hoping to roll your car or something

Subway · May 23, 2006

It's about 30kg lol

God knows how I'm going to fit it, looks to me like a duct tape & blue tac job!

fungusman · May 23, 2006

What to the roof of the car or somehting.. ill wager youll have to cut that somewhere to get it in.

M.C.. · May 23, 2006

you must have a big letter box :clown:

polarbert · May 23, 2006

Another question is, how did the seller get it out of his car?

Ali · May 23, 2006

that'll put your insurance up about 500£ easy

seb · May 23, 2006

out of curiosity subway, have you ever mounted the horse in the first picture?

i am having wild fantasies of you riding bare back firing your shotgun straight up in the air whilst wearing a cowboy hat.

Subway · May 23, 2006

It comes in two pieces and the diagonal bar comes lose.

I will need to take out the seats & maybe carpet.

Fit the cage and then put the seats & carpet back in.

Easier said then done I hear? Your probably right lol

Subway · May 23, 2006

lol seb - your so cute!

Ali - Nah I wont bother telling them, it's not like you can see it anyway!

nothing you can't do in a long day mate, will look good once done. you tempted to paint the cage before it goes in? white maybe?

Subway · May 23, 2006

Exactly^

Yea I'm going to paint it white probably the most suitable colour to go with the car.

Ali · May 23, 2006

Fit. No get on that horse.

seb · May 23, 2006

i think we need pictures of you having a special moment with the horse.

lawrence · May 23, 2006

good god

all i can hear is lawwwwrrence...............

looking good mate when you pAainting it?

Gaz_ · May 23, 2006

i always thought it odd that if you fit a rollcage it puts the insurance up.....

Adam · May 23, 2006

are you planning to strip the interior..

In what way............errrrr!! :S

Subway · May 23, 2006

Yea I'm going to have to strip the entire car, it goes like this;

- Strip everything
- Weld 2x feet behind the front seats
- Fit the cage it along with support plates & bolts
- Drill all necessary holes
- Make sure cages fits properly
- One cage is all in go for a test run/week
- If everything turns out to be A-OK, I will take the cage out, spray it white and put it back in again.

Lots of work but its all worth it at the end of the day!

As for the horse -

I use to horse ride but I never actually fucked a horse...I simple couldn't fit it all in tbh. Shame

R20 CWH · May 23, 2006

make sure you buy some cup 172 stickers to put on the roll cage as nice wee detail

:race:

John185k · May 23, 2006

they are a c**k to fit in, mine is a safety devices one and it took about 4 hours. Best using torque belt straps to pull the bars in together, makes it easier to fit into minis anyway.

Good luck mate, good purchase.

Ed_182 · May 24, 2006

and the rocket just keeps on getting better

GarethM · May 24, 2006

very nice fella

Fred@BTM · May 24, 2006

make sure you reinforce the floor mounts properly

jon_r · May 24, 2006

Will look fantastic but your insurance will go through the roof and you'll might be hacking that dash to pieces.

Subway · May 24, 2006

lol JAY, nice!

Nathan has found a guy to weld the necessary parts in, and then I and Nathan (mostly Nathan) will fit the cage ourselves.

There are a few problems on the way like:

No passenger rear seats
Plastic pillars (where the seat belts sit) will need to be taken out
Most of the carpet will need to go
Welding will need to be on the car
Drilling holes in the floor of the car
Bolting in plates to reinforce the cage

^ But that’s all part of being hardcore!

Once it’s all in though I will customize my carpet and pillar plastics to fit over & around the cage.

I'm a little annoyed that it won’t be in before Sunday!

All I need now is Buckets & Harnesses, and then I should be done for the interior!

Adam

Laura-lou · May 24, 2006

Will look good! It does take a bit of force depending if its a bodgejob or not! It took two lads i know to fit one into a nova the other week.

Good Luck and would like to see finished pictures

Englebert · May 24, 2006

I know you've said you aren't going to bother with telling the insurance but i've been turned away for quotes full stop when it comes to cars with cages. Its all very well saying it's hard to see but if you crash it it's not like they're going to miss it lol! Then before you know it, you're Joel: The Sequel.

that is a very good point. you don't want to lose your pride and joy, as it may not even be your fault (like joel) and you still het buggered.

just be real careful!!!!

Gaz_ · May 24, 2006

but a cage could save your life, thats why i don't understand why it puts up the insurance so much
