      ok I got the carpet switched out with a nice gray carpet. Im getting ready to finish up the other side panel and maybe the bottom panel today.
      If all goes well then I will post some photos of the inside.

        what back spacing on them?

        I looked into a set recently but they couldn't get backspacing even close to where I wanted it. Or so they said.

            Bump I'd like to know as well. The fitment on those Diamond's are close to perfect...Also what brand/size tires?

                  Roll cage showed up today from kirk.
                  Let me tell you what. This fuckin thing fits like shit.
                  The bottom plates are at a angle and they floor is flat.
                  The back to bars dont seem to go back far enough and sit flat. I dont know. I want to send it back but fuck. I waited 6 weeks for this thing.
                  I could easly cut and weld new plates on the bottom of the main hoop and it should be fine.
                  But I mean. I paid 550 shipped for this fuckin thing un coated.
                  I could have bought a fuckin pipe bender and some steel and made my own for less.
                  Im lost and confused right now...GRRRRR

                        Engine swap looks clean, and the wheels are pretty nice.

                        I'm not sure about the black racing seats on tan carpet, though. Doesn't really look that good in my eyes.

                        Edit: you should totally go for a new steering wheel, now.
