I am all for your project!

On the cage, I will offer an opinion... do NOT skimp on the cage. It is one of those base-level infrastructure items that can not be changed or updated in the future without great effort. Do it correctly the first time. If you don't have the time, skills or tools to build it yourself, pay someone to put one in for you. A good one will be expensive... but I guarantee that you will not care about the cost as you slide sideways at a high rate of speed toward a wall, tree, rock... (insert any hard object here). Do some research about what you want, what is legal and what is required for any group that you plan to run with - they are generally all pretty similar. A good cage builder should be familiar with the rules and requirements of lots of rulebooks and be unfazed by any extra bars required by rally organizations... try to find someone familiar with early Porsches...

While I 100% cheer on any and all home builders and penny pinchers, it pains me greatly to see a crappy cage. Once it's in, if it's not 100% awesome, it's really costly and hard to fix and is a stain on the finished car.

You can take that for what it's worth, which is not much... just an opinion.
