Got to ride a bit in the Celica at the Gorman rally---it's suprisingly quiet inside and has enough ground clearance too pretty much handle any rally road and then some. Almost have the cage finished in the Protege---tricky trying to fit the tubes tight, but not too tight so that a headliner can go back in...Some of the tubes will get covered up by the interior panels as well---we're adding a strut tower tube, steering column mounts, and then a harness bar for the seatbelts---that'll about do it for the cage.

Come up to Portland and fix my spare rally shell's cage.. It's got some wicked points that will shear.

That is sweet.
I was planning on doing a similar thing to my gray protege, just use a straight bar, mounted in the stock location of the dash bar, instead of the curvy one with all the pointy/sharp bits.
I like this better though, for sure. Strut tower tube, as in the rear strut tower? Will that double as the mounting brace for the rear seats, or will the back deck be re-fit?

Started yanking stuff out to swap the motor today---since we're going to upgrade to a lighter/new battery, I thought I'd offer this one for sale...it's a fine everstart battery, not much corrosion---comes with a matching/era specific "modified" battery terminal---really a collectible item-
Needs new axles as well-

The battery didn't corrode like that in AZ... LOL (it was always getting a bit fuzzy though) You might want to change out the cables, otherwise the corrosion will just wick back up from inside the cable casing.
That upper axle is the front passenger side, isn't it..? That's the axle I had to replace while trying to drive to CA for X-mas a few years back. I guess the boots must get pretty dry just sitting on a parts shelf for 18 years.
