i need to shop where you do..........
if your removing the tarmatting sound deadening crap from back, get hair dryer and a scraper on the job.
that gsi of mine dont have no carpets, door cards, none of the centre console, just the basic dash and 2 deats. aint actually that noisey, just a twat as nowhere to stach red bull tins on way to work

mine wouldnt come off unless heated up on the nova. corsa i got was pretty much all ready de-tar matted, just had to finish it off.
proper roll cages can be got from motorsport direct. 420 ish i think. proper fia jobbie if you weld it in. not really sure thems your kinda prices, probably find a 2nd hand one on a rally board for couple hundred
