how to cut up a body shell...101

[Chris Holt]

Hi gang,

So has anyone ever cut up a body shell before? I'm breaking the car down and wanted to see which bits I should chop up incase people want spares in the future...

Plus it will be fun to do

surely if the shell is that bad to break it the usual rough bits are bad on that too?
is the car fully stripped?
is it a sunroof model?

poss roof, front panel, full sills.

tbh there isn't much worth chooping off as each car has similar rough areas and most will want to replace with new, kts mainly crash damaged that it would be of use.

i'd suggest using the right tools too. i asked my cousin to chop one in half a few years back so it could be lifted onto a trailer. came back a while later and looked like he'd used a tin opener. said he could find the grinder so used a pick axe!

Wind screen surround if it's any good and not holed.
