Airbag Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 OMG! Apart from the respray this has been the single most stressfull and hardest job in the 3 years I have been restoring my car! Well worth it tho Just need to touch up some of the paint where it got chipped.
Admin Vista Posted August 11, 2008 Admin Report Posted August 11, 2008 Very nice. I wouldn't mount your fire extinguishers there though, you risk getting them in the back of the head if you're ever involved in a hard front end shunt
Airbag Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Posted August 11, 2008 Very nice. I wouldn't mount your fire extinguishers there though, you risk getting them in the back of the head if you're ever involved in a hard front end shunt OUCH! that would really hurt. Can't really move it now cuz I have drilled the cage to fit it, I'll have to make sure not to crash
5hane Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 the holes cant be that big just put some rivets in teh holes and touch them up garenty (ffs :@ sp ) no one but you will know its there also dont lose the back seat
antz Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 i like the cage!!!! i would move the extinguishers if it was me but thats just my opinion.
mk3tina Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 from the very informative subjects on extinguishers, id throw that one away and get a plumb in one
NeilT Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 that looks the nuts i cant imagen how much of a pain in the ass it most have been to fit good work
Retromotorsport Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 If i see your car out and about i'll remove that extinguisher .
SAF_Capri Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 phaw! i want one! how long did it take? cost? where from? id really like one, just concerned if it adds to my car insurance?
Rick Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 that looks sweet/ wont that extinguisher explode if the sun bakes it in the window. i know its unlikely to ever see sun in this country though
hotrodholty Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 iv got a half cage for my mk1 escy, what a nightmare to fit, i bet a full one in a capri was even more fun, did you manage to not rip your headlining
livewire7116 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 Insurance companys hate them!!! i had loads of agro getting a company to accept mine, in the end i just went for rally car ins, Like the big long bolts for the diagonals which double as coat hooks
hotrodholty Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 iv heard, wether its true or not, that if you tell them it's a show cage, just to enhance the cars looks for shows they ar'nt to bothered. but iv not tried this one so dont know for sure
PAUL MANN Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 that looks the tits mate,had a go at fitting mine today gave up i think its the wrong cage i have
LEONMEX Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 A bloke i did banger racing with was nearly killed as his fire extinguisher hit him in the back of the head,he is now in a wheel chair through it all. Cage does look the business though
