just a quick one guys would any of you be intrested in a fia welded in roll cage as im cutting mine out to fit leather int in,you would need to make your own platforms as i cant take them out but with some plating would be easy to do,i will try keep it complete but will have to cut in half,least you dont have to make one from scratch,has diagnal door bars all roof bars,this is a proper bit of kit that would of cost couple grand let me no buy pm
