Forget the roll cage. that thing looks positively dangerous (and stupid) that high up on such small wheels.

to be fair, if you look over on any US sites people use 1.5" tube for cages all the time, it might bend but as long as the welding is good it'll save your life.
But yes it does need some bigger tyres!
I've seen worse!

Thats nothing. Saw this wonder made of no other than uni-strut in a scrappy the other day. Was cut through the bulkhead and bolted to the very rotten front floor wells as well!
Best place for it if you ask me!

I recognise that car from Haynes scrap yard. Used to be driven at my local pay & play....
Guess the wipers didn't work either

Looks like a roof rack, not a cage.
