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???

Avoid accidents. That usually works better.

true, guys I was T-boned by an F150 and my door caved in and bent over my right side and then my seat (i was the passenger) got laid all the way back. It was bad, I saw pics of the car but fortunately I really don't remember getting hit by the truck. I got a concusion and pretty much was passed out. I never saw it coming.

So, if the roll cage won't help side impacts, what possibly could? Any custom reinforcement welding you think???
