turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 10m 20d Gender: Male Posted 30/05/07 03:33 PM Share Posted 30/05/07 03:33 PM Try oxy or plasma cutter. I reckon you could leave the interior in while doing it.Its a shame that you are pulling it out. Someone slaved on putting that thing in and now you want to take it out and have a car interior full of holes. Do yourself a favour, leave it in there and get another insurance quote. I'd love to buy a cheap car with a well built roll cage in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
