Wee update of what Ive been up to this week......
From this:
A lot of swear words in the middle....
To this:
Removed this:
I bought a Q-Max punch for cutting the holes and I have removed as much for now from the drivers door so I still have use of the electric windows.
The crash bar was a complete ballache but thanks to a thread I read on 22b, ARCH had gave advice to someone else on how to remove the bar so I did just that. Thank You Arch if you read this
Anyway to remove bar, cut at the brackets at each side of the bar then use a wire to break through the glue stuff holding the bar to the door skin. I also used a scalpel to aid this. I broke two bits on my dremel, borrowed one form Westra (Cheers Mark), 3 metal cutting discs, scraped knuckles and I then had to cut the bar in half to remove it from my door.
Heres a pic of one of the cuts with the dremel:
I havnt weighed what I have removed yet and I have the other door still to do. My plan is to get the car as light as possible so trimming excess weight here and there is what I have to do.
Couple of pics after my wee run:
All pics taken on phone so not best quality but I know how you all like a few pics anyway
