Great work bud. Where did you get the cage from and was there much involved in fitting it? Cheers Matt

The cage was supplied by Bond Roll bars here in Sydney. It fit really well and wasn't too hard to install. They were very helpful giving plenty of instructions on how to install it.

Looks great 80ESKY! The prepwork can sometimes be enough to put you off doing the painting in the first place. Rhys

A couple of little changes including a set of functional bonnet vents. Some GT style bonnet pins. And the front looks a whole lot better now! And the car is off to have its new driveline installed. It should look a little different in a couple of months time.

Your getting to be a pro with that masking mate! Cars looking great.
Tar's for getting there. Dirt's for racing!

Excellent work, looks good! I'm curious to know if you are going to try & keep the NSW rego with a full cage? Cheers

That's why I went with a bolt in cage. I can take the front out and as there's no back seat can leave the back in when on the street. I stay away from all the usual hang outs so as not to get hassled. Had a highway patrol car behind me recently and he didn't bat an eyelid at the car! Lucky maybe!

I've got the same cage for my MK2. To get the front section out I had to lay back the main hoop, which meant seat removal, back stay removal & loosen main hoop floor bolts - not a quick job plus damage to cage paintwork - so now just have rear section in car. Your main hoop is further back than mine, so that might make it easier. Cheers
