well after work yesterday i popped down to adma_B's to fit his roll-cage into my car..

what a mad night, taking the cage out of his car was smooth, then thew questions was, to be or not to be? (intireor) That came stright out! (rear only)

Cage was thrown in and bolted up


then was time for the seats to go back in, man this was a pain in the arse!
in the end we founf out that i needed to twist the rollers/slider's so that they are slightly off, but working (if you know what i mean)

once complete we just rigged the harnesses up and we was done,

Adam then said we can go out in his car to show me how it handles compared to mine, I sat in the car and went to strap my self in,
"Adam, wheres the harness?????!!!???"



"Fuck, we forgot to put it back in"
It was a kinda moment where you just had to be there...

few shit snaps

What i see now in the mirror




and a quite snap from the back,



When it warms up abit later, i'll go grab some better pictures.

i feel it has stiffend the back up abit better. it feels alot more responsive on the road, "oint it in a direction and it acctually goes there rather then sliding".

Comments welcome (of course better pictures will be provided later on)

ta


Ps.

I need to say a big thank you to Adam_B for all the help and mither i was last night! we seriosly didnt think it would take as long as it did! lol - cheers dude

noo, the "theme" of the car is dark,

the othside/inside is dark apart from the harnesses/cage. (Harneses came with the seats so i could not choose a colour - an cannot be arsed wasting money to change the colour of it) - but im really anti-chrome..
