there really is no pint in putting a cage in a convertable, it will just look silly with the roof down

now maybe if it had a full on 4wd cossie conversion or rwd v8 conversion and your going to track it i would lol

but not for a 2.0 on throttle bodies

^ what he said. I can kind of see your thinking but you'd do far better just getting a hard top Escort instead.

Just do what you like mate. If you want one get it done. Don't ask others what they like about it. Its your car. But remember they cost good money. As for needing it.....if you roll over in an old escort the only bit that will be still good is the rollcage Fucking rustbuckets
