    Re: my turbo 408 stroker vx berlina wagon

    Looks the goods not being a ass but why keep a wagon when you have removed the rear occupancy with the stays? i suppose being different is good though be good too see the times roll in..good luck with it.

    the good thing about this i could completely on my own unbolt cage fit rear seat carpet etc in 1 and ahalf hours ??? = stock looking family car love things a bit different!!! still need to finish tloop tidy up isolation switch remove ap racing rear brakes fit stock ones for 15inch ets fit arp wheel studs get tech inspection, medical , upgrade licence then hopefully dip well into the tens obvious a 9.99 would be the ultimate !!!cheers martin

    Re: my turbo 408 stroker vx berlina wagon

    Great wagon mate !

    Im with craig on the cage , would have been just as easy to run bars over and behind back seat ! Then you could have left it in ! But like you say its no real big deal taking it in/out

    Good luck with it all

    If your quest is to run 9's how come you only built a 4 point cage? You've got all the ingredients there to run a 9 if you can get it to hook up.

    this option was looked at but to keep backstays straight ie no bends which is necessary they would of been right near rear fowling on battery and under car exhaust fuel system and shit in way would of made it a hassle to easily unbolt seeing that having rear stays and seats not that it worrys me isnt exactly legal ie register it as two door if you wanted!!! no intention to do this if it was a complete weld in job wouldnt of done it !!!cheers
