i moved the wiring, and took the seats out, but didnt think abut the screen, which now has thousands of tiny chips and splatters of metal on it
but autoglass are fitting a screen with tinted strip for me tomorrow for £37.50 through my insurance (i told them it had a big chip in it)

wheelarch, with a pry bar and a 4 pound lumphammer
luckily, it'll be under the mount for the cage, so it'll have a plate welded on it anyway

I don't get why you'd spend all that time stripping out every last bit of the interior......then fit a roll cage which weighs about the same as the interior anyway....so you see no gain in performance

yes because the roll cage would weigh the same as the 125kg i have shed by stripping the car
it would weigh about 25kg
