Alright, are the best ways of strengthening the body of a 914? I want to weld in a role cage but I don't have a clue which kit to buy. I know the cage is a huge factor in making the body stronger. The car is at the stage now where anything is possible so please help me out, I only want to do this once.

What does your rule book say about attaching the cage to suspension pickup points?
What does it say about tube material, diameter, and wall thickness?

The 'best' way is to have a professional do it - one who's done it before.
Can't recommend anyone in particular without knowing what area you're in...
