That is a killer deal for a brand new cage for only $550.

"New, still wrapped, Autopower bolt-in roll cage for Porsche 924 (and possibly 944 - you need to make sure).
I believe this to be model #8389
Comes with all hardware, base plates, and tubing.
These are currently selling for over $800.00.
Item is located in Salinas - 93901
Please e-mail any with any questions you might have...
Thanks for looking."

I got it! $500! I'm picking it up tomorrow. I'm SO stoked! I have been looking for a cage for a YEAR.
Now who's gonna help me install it? And can I weld it after bolting it in place?

Congrats...patience pays off.
I'm on light duty or I'd help you out.
The worst part is drilling all the holes.
I drove mine around for a month or so before I added the 2nd door bars. I tried welding them like that but it was too tight and I was worried about burning holes in my harnesses and stuff, so I pulled the cage back out. It just takes a few minutes to remove it, just mark the bars/sleeves so your holes line back up.

So, I'd suggest you tack the door bars in place, then pull it out to weld them the rest of the way around, and finish the paint while it's out.

**IMPORTANT** Make sure ALL FOUR SLEEVES slide all the way in place after your door bars are tacked, somehow one of mine was a little off after welding was done and it sprung the whole cage hammering it on.

Congrats!! I paid $600 for my "new" cage. It wasn't wrapped like yours, but it was loosely bolted into a 924 project. Sleeves weren't drilled either. You got a GREAT deal!
As said above, drilling the holes SUK! Just make sure you use a NEW drill bit, a GOOD corded drill and have a lot of patience.
