put a cage in my hatch

[chunky]

it's almost done, just have to add a small bar to the pass side back bar to the harness bar as seen on the driver side.

not to shabby for only costing me $50. it's made of 1 5/8" DOM tubing.

 

[Jbuck2KCivic]

Yeah definently not a bad job for only costing you $50.

 

[one6]

$50?? Nice!!!

 

[kangaroo]

Dang I want a cage in my car.

But not until I can get another daily driver.

 

[EG-Owns you]

hmmmm wanna make me one??

 

[ImportFan1]

looks good. you gonna paint it? those other bars need to be painted as well.

 

[Kfuck]

get rid of the upholstery, nicely done, just get it painted, and update us m8

 

[Shiznit]

pink strut bars o.0

 

[chunky]

already sprayed it black, the pink will be painted black in a couple weeks. it's just too bright and distracting

and yes, $50!! $45 in tubing and $5 for the flat stock that was welded to the floor and the bars where welded to that.

 

[ImportFan1]

is the cage black in those pics?

 

[chunky]

no

 

[ImportFan1]

ok. didnt think so. gloss or flat black?

 

[chunky]

gloss. i'm sick of the flat black trend.

how hard was it to do? how long did it take you? and where did you buy your tubing, im putting one of these in my 240 eventually, and im planning on making it myself, can you do a writeup on how you did this?

it took me about 10 hours total. it could be done with just a tubing bender, mig welder, saws-all, and a closed coat grinder but having things like a tubing notcher, horizontal ban saw make it much easyer and faster to get done.

you really should primer that when you finish it... but looks real nice, especially for only $50

 

[.blazed_ej8]

it's already been painted gloss black since the pics where taken

I'm sure it's safer then not having some sort of cage in there.
