Well here is my half cage (rear half only), 6 point, welded in. The idea is to keep the front as it should be all luxuries, head-unit, comfy seats, etc....




Seat belts and clips are now out of the rear. 12" sub, box and amp has all been fitted. Just need to finish off with some clamps and then carpet the rear so that it all looks quite clean and not stripped out.

bought off here, originally came out of Duncans car (Dynamix) I think he said safety devices, but I could be completely wrong on this

That looks spot on I just bought a full cusco cage but im adding bits to it as it doesnt have the cross or a diagonal bar at the back, found a company that will weld them on for me, also putting door bars on it (low lol)
Its just been sprayed in Kawasaki green and although i like it, it doesnt go with my car which is Imperial blue. Need some inspiration for colour!

Rear cage is great! Got the cross, does not intrude into the front of the car should hopefully add enough support for the worst case scenario.

Yeah thats more like what i wanted but seemed to be pretty hard to find! Luckily mine has the dash dodger front so i wont have to rip my dash apart! But i am happy with it anyway
I also wanted to keep my rear seats so needed one that would allow me to carry 1 passenger in the back still (lots of scrounging mates wanting lifts to shows etc lol) But as you have i am keeping all my mod cons in the front still

how about the same as your manifold?
even throw in a touch of yellow into it or even white stipes like lightning over it just to really be different

This was a cage that was made for me by SHP Motorsport in Cambridgeshire. There are very few if any proper off the shelf rear cages that actually are safe IMO hence why I got this made.
