Ok guys i need your opinions..................................
To cage
Or not to cage.

Ive been thinking, and i cant decide if i should put the roll cage back in the car?

i Think it makes the car look good but at the same time i fancy a change,

So come on then what does every1 think?

cheers jay

Thing is, with the cage, you lose the use of the rear seats so that makes taxi work in the evenings difficult


I would say: Cage and strip it with buckets OR full plush leather. And they are LOUD with no interior!!

I'll be there sunday evening I think mate but not a definate. Milk no sugar just incase
