        You can get the roll bar that goes from a post to a post( inside the engine compartmant) in and also have the blower fitted. I had mine fitted and had a full weld in cage to FIA 1996 GPA specification. Its acase of fabrication. IIRC You cant get the aircon style blower in though not that mine had it anyways.
        You can do it

              Because I want the car to be usable/practical on the road in all weathers the fitting of a small heater was chosen even though the car has a heated front screen.

              3.5kw heater unit.............only weighs 1150 grammes :shocked:

                  definitely have a heater if you intend it to be usable in damp weather. My stripped out puma initially just had a heated screen but that wasnt enough for driving in all weathers so i refitted the heater matrix.

                  get a kit car based heater as ritchie suggests. some will be heavier than the "rally" ones but for the sake of a couple of kilos its not worth paying the "rally tax".

                        surely insurance would pay for heated screen though

                          when someone very kindly broke my front screen with some rebar i just phoned up the insurance or whoever - maybe autowindscreensand gave then my details, they came and fitted a heated screen without me having to say owt.
                          one for the road?? ......
