Roll Cage, can it be done? Options

[6G96GT]

guys I was in a bad accident with a friend of mine a few weeks ago and am still recovering. He had a small subaru and it got killed being t-boned only at 30 mph. so I want to install more protection for myself in my 96 celica gt by adding reinforcement cage inside. can it be done???

I know that airbags are safty equip... but in my experience, they deploy several seconds too late but now i drive a Toyota, not an old Ford

I wanted to ask if 4/5 point belts (Correctly installed, With the proper equipment) Would help? (lol, i've got a convertable, if i flip i'm done )

couple seconds late?!
in most accidents your car stops in less than a second. air bags deploy and contract with in that second.
you woulda wrecked/come to a stop and then been wacked in the face after the entire event was over?
but as you said it was a FORD = Fix Our Retarded Design :dunno:

4 point harness is doable with a harness bar, and certified belts.
All about the correct setup

Yup. Actually i was hit, stopped, and I was starting the process of driving off of the street (it was a little back road, i was just moving towards the ditch really) when it deployed.
BAM!!
I couldn't move my head for 3 weeks; not to mention the excruciating pain i was in, and working in a fcuking jack'N'box as an assistant manager was not helping... Plus that white powder crap had me itching for a few days as well...

So (correctly done) the 4 point harness would indeed be a nice safty upgrade on a street car? (provided that it is in conjunction with local and state laws, and i suppose you'd need the seats too)
