What a bolt in jobby? I wouldn't bother imo! I used to have one, was purely for show however, would probably cause more damage in the event of the car rolling

Yea, go for the safety devices cage mate! With the amount of money / effort you seem to be putting into your car a show cage would be a bit pointless? What is it going to be used for anyway, track?

Lol...Love the car Tony.

It looks reminiscent of an old wreck up on ramps I saw a couple of years back, when I bought a GRS from from some suspicious character
down near the Danson....
