Default My GS gets Caged!

I decided to post this the mist of the 2nd Gen forum for everyone that doesn't head over to the performance part of this forum but would be intrigued when they see this. enjoy!!! the car should be pretty bad once completed...


car got back today. Forrest **** did an outstanding job on my car. I couldn't ask for anything more. Top notch... He'll be getting some major work once this car hit the scene and people know who did the cage.

he ended up selling his trailer to a friend in vegas so he planned it to where he could bring my car back up at the same time.


first shot. notice the JDM Nissan S13 steering column. also the gussets on the front bars and the side bars.


He boxed up in line with the frame rails


pics of the rear box. He really did great work making the rear bar run inline with the front door bar. plus you at a glimpse at the massive rear gussets


He stretched the rear hoop out 6-8 inches into the rear door area which made this look real clean and kept fitment for a racing seat a breeze. plus the massive rear gusset in just baller.


rear strut tower bar. he cut out some of the rear deck which was ok with me. I might try and cut the rest of it off but I might have a problem with the trunk hinges b/c thats where they bolt to but we'll see.


passenger side shot of the cage.

check out the little roof gusset. baller


and last but not least a full shot of the S13 column i'm really happy about this. It saved me a lot of time and effort.


What can I say Forrest just did a pimp *** job now I have to put together a car that does this cage justice.
