Mikgan 32 Posted May 8, 2013 I used to have a sort of half cage in my XE, struggling to find pictures but it was a hoop behind the driver seat with plates where it meets the floor and runners to the rear shelf and plates on the ends also bolted through the shelf. It was all looks, but its a good look, and was never meant to be functional. It was bolted in the car when I bought it and I sold it off a few years later so now I'm looking for someone to knock one up for me again. Does anyone have a cage guy that would slum it for a more looks than functional gig? Know what it might cost? I was looking through ebay for something that was close and this is a very piss poor example but its basically the same thing but much lighter gauge material Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robbie 901 Posted May 8, 2013 To be honest man, if you want to put a cage in there for looks dont waste your time.. The build quality will be shit and in the event of a collision (touch wood) the thing will break and hurt who ever is in the car Cost for a proper cage would be around the $1200-1500 mark from memory 1 revhead reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The build quality will be shit and in the event of a collision (touch wood) the thing will break and hurt who ever is in the car Im not interested in the functionality of it, really not interested at all, and I'm not kidding myself that it'll save me in any event err... well anything! Its just an aesthetic thing, wish I could find photos from back in the day to explain it, that one above isn't really doing the idea justice.. grrr That aside, know anyone that could bend some fat tube? and do a tidy bit of welding?

robbie 901 Posted May 8, 2013 Nah, no one comes to mind immediately but if it does I'll let you know.. if you want the proper gig however I can point you to some good places Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikgan 32 Posted May 8, 2013 PM the their details, they might be able to sell me on the idea of doing it "properly" or they might have someone in mind, cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz 1,085 Posted May 8, 2013 You should try and get a hold of Ash from the old days. I'm sure he'd have plenty of pics of your car inside and out, from the very first xfalc cruises and the Williamstown photo shoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thom 6,651 Posted May 9, 2013 If it's just aesthetic a good exhaust shop should be able to do it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikgan 32 Posted June 26, 2013 Well you'd never believe my luck, I was cruising around on the ozfalcon facebook page and Jake posted a picture of my old half 'cage' for sale!! He's in Perth and that makes things a little more difficult but he's sorting it out and I'll have it back soon! FUCK YEAH!!! That cage has been from Adelaide to Melbourne to Canberra to WaggaWagga to Perth and now back to Melbourne, go you good thing! If anyone in Perth can help out with organising shipping do please PM me, I'm not sure Jake thought he'd be organising interstate shipping (at my expense of course) for the item when he posted it, but he's being a good sport Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
