I finally got my price for my tubing for my roll cage and engine cradle today. Was quite abit more then i thought. 380 pounds just for 15 meters of straight c.d.s. but it is what it is i suppose. Im still undecied on what colour to paint her. I was thinking all green with a black bonnet, roof and boot with completly green insides with black cage but am not to sure if the monster colours have been over done. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

What sanctioning body's specs are you building the cage to meet? Or is this just one of those 'I want a cage for looks' type builds?

im putting a cage in as im cutting the back end of the car away so i want the cage to put some strength back into it and make everything more rigid. also the engine will be mounted to the cage for some support.

Photobucket is a lot easier/better to me. But since you already made an imageshack account, to the right of the picture click "embed this image" and copy and paste the link that says FORUM : [URL... etc etc etc]

Very cool concept none the least. Hope you don't give up. I've seen a rear wheel drive B18B crx before. Good Luck!!
