[ibiza_95]

Put the roll cage in this week
Dark outside but i wanted to show it off

i like it a lot looks sweet
Got some poverty spec door cards so theyre plain black aswell
Just need to sell the interior now and get the buckets in... false floor, bodykit.... the list goes on

 

[Triple D]

:looks sweet mate

Looks good! You shouldn't have any trouble selling the interior!

 

[ibiza_95]

shouldnt
i dont know what to ask for to be honest. Did you sell your interior from the engine swap? ive got half leather tiger striped for sale, but i dont know what to ask for.
Said id swap it for decent coilovers anyway

Cheers for the comments anyway guys

 

[F2 Stu]

Nice, fixed in there good?

 

[Martin M]

I've still got the interior from the 20vt but hopefully it's going this weekend. I gave £250 for my tiger stripe interior so i would guess somewhere around there depending on the condition.

Are you selling your red seatbelts by any chance?

 

[ibiza_95]

i bloody hope so. got the plates fixed to the floor with 2 bolts in (couldnt get a third in) and then the back end is bolted through the turrets. All with big steel rings on the back and front

i probably will be selling the red seat belts... i said on my ad on here 230 for the seats or nearest offer, and 180 to swap with a standard interior, so i guess im aiming in the right direction
Cheers for that

What shocks are you running at the moment then? Car looks quite low!

Thats why I welded captive nuts to the underside of the feet - take it you'e just plonked it in place and throughbolted to the shell without the reinforcement plates?

 

[ibiza_95]

i put the reinforcement plates on the front legs, inside the car, and used big washers (dont know their real name) on the underside of the car and ontop of the cage feet.
The back i bolted straight thru the chasis again but didnt use a plate, just used the big washers again on the other side.

out of curiosity what increase has this made to insurance cost?

looks sweet btw

 

[ibiza_95]

At the minute i can honestly say i have no idea.
Havent even told the insurance people yet... didnt even occur to me.
And no... im not the kind to drive around with an illegally insured car, i just forgot id have to tell them...

And thanks

wasnt saying u were, i was toying with the idea myself, just wondered on what it would up the cost by,

 

[ibiza_95]

lol... ok mate, ill let you know tomorrow when i phone them. Im with adrian flux at the mo, fully comp every mod declared all for 800 pounds, and im 21... just to give you an idea of what im paying to how much itll go up

 

[surcalation]

shouldnt affect your insurance. My insurers are in the frame of mind that unless you increase the power you can bolt as much on as you want

That's HIC for ya.

Look's good. Is it going to be ready for show season?

 

[ibiza_95]

yea it will be mate, im hanging on until last minute to see if i can get some second hand fk coilovers before april but not looking good at the minute. I can get them at a dcent rate anyway but i thought i may aswell hang on just incase. Kit should be getting sprayed soon aswell, got someone lined up for that, and then theres just a false floor to make in the boot, bang the seats in and well be on for a decent looking motor hopefully

 

[surcalation]

good good look forward to its progress

 

[F2 Stu]

Odd way of doing it but does the trick I spose.

 

[jenk]

Some nice progress, full on rally slag then is it?

Buy my car and you can have the collies off it

 

[adamgardiner]
