Heres what i did on wednesday :wink:

(Apologies for the terrible pics :oops:)

The Gl shell from this from this;

Image

To this;

Image

When i got through the floor just behind the bulkhead the hole car flipped up and came off its axel stands :shock:

Image

So after the font end was off it had to cut into smaller bits which is were this came in handy :D if you think the saw was mental you aint see nothing :lol:

The MASSIVE meatclever :twisted:

Image

Image

It cut the car up like it was paper, much faster than the saw :D

About an hour or so later

Image

Then came the packing of it into the trailer

Image

Image

Lil pic of the rust it doesnt look that bad i couldnt get a decent pic of it but basically it had been repaired badly in the past. So the hole outer sill was peeling away from the body and all the inner arches were made from fiberglass. I got it through the last mot with no advisories aswell :D not to mention im great with fiberglass now :lol:
