I started cutting up the gl shell yesterday :(

Hers a few pics ;

The saw went through like a knife through butter until i got dow to the chassis legs

Image

Image

Image

Image

It took awhile to get the front off as a bit the chassis was being a PITA

Image

Got it off in the end

Image

Then started on the other side took much less time to do it second time around.

Image

And off

Image

Image

I also cut through the roof where the sunroof was

Image

Today i took out the windscreen which took me about 2.5 hours as i cut it all out with a craft knife as i couldnt get hold of windscreen removal kit.
Ill put some pics of the windscreen out in a bit :)

Haha Ryobi FTW !!! :twisted:

It does have a cord thoug, i had to let it cool down every 15 mins or so to avoid over heating the motor as its only a light saw really. But you can cut a car up with pretty much anything its all about using the right blades.
Now the screen is out i get to have fun with a big axe to get through the stengthening in the sills :twisted: :lol: will get some pics of that up :)
