How to fit a roll cage in a subaru. - 8th Jan 2006 8:26pm
Decide to embark on a minor project today, fitting a roll cage.
Here we go........
Firt off was to remove the rear seats which were done back in September when the car was off the road due to engine failure. These were stripped out pretty easily using spanners and socket set. This leaves the back of the car completely stripped out and i decided to remove the parcel shelf and boot trim at the same time.
I bought the roll cage from a jap imports car sales up in Newcastle and after seeing the roll cage in the old car, i knew it would go in mine.
Got all of the bits ready and in the car ready to go.
Quick look at the photos to see which way round the main strut goes then i was away.
After getting the main mid strut and front legs in i could see i was going to struggle with the back legs and they would be a tight fit going in. This wouldnt deter me though as i could see things were starting to take shape.
