Man you need to learn to speak english. Hell I'm not even from this country! Just trash your rx-2.. I'll pick it up at no cost. This is what you should have said:

"I'm looking for a roll cage for a 1973 Rx-2. Does anyone know if there is a kit out there that will work?"

There was a place in sandiego that had coupe roll bar for rx-2.. now I can't find there site.. Sure some one will know, or if I remeber I'll post it up.

I have one that was in an RX2 that I picked up. I am too lazy to take pictures of it though. If someone local wants it, they can have it for cheap.

Dave: Post some pics.. I don't feel like driving 2 hours and then not like what I see and drive back empty handed.. hehe

I might be able to pick it up this weekend if it looks good, and it looks like it will fit.

Hey Alvaro,

I went out to take some pics for you and noticed it had an Autopower sticker on it. It is actually the same one you linked from that website.

http://www.ioportracing.com/Merchant...ory_Code=AP480

This one has everything you see in the link above, except the optional horizontal seatbelt bar.

I tried it in my rx2, and am now having second thoughts about selling.

I will take a few pics for you.

Here is a few pics of it in the back of my car. There are 2 additional bars that go with it. They are used to secure the rollbar to the rear wheel wells. Notice the little Autopower Industries sticker on the top center of the bar.

Your gonna pay a fortune for a full cage. It will have to be custom made. With this at least you can cheaply have a 4 or 6 point cage in the car. The shoulder harness can be had for very little.

I am lagging on the car right now. I did get a rear end for it, Ford 8.8. Just have to take it down to the rear end shop for the build. I really want mini tubs though, so this has delayed any decisions on the car.

The engine is prepped though. Have the front cover swapped, and the Tranny shortened, so at least I have made some progess.
