Look how "clean" the cut is.

And the fact that someone's obviously had a grinder in there, and the strut has been unbolted. Fair amount of rust too.
Indeed/\
You can even see the scorch/slightly burnt marks on the inner wing where the grinders been. lol
Have to agree looking at it again. When Ed's went it literally tore it off lol
i dunno what pic you lot are looking at buit you can clearly see where the spot welds have been ripped off and the metal is bent
I reckon its half gone and the rest has been removed via Baxter :thumb:

lol how would he get the 9 inch grinder in there
You'd get a 1" die grinder with a cutting wheel in there though :thumb:
Anyway, youd cut it out from underneath

i had that happen on my old gsi but just popped the spot welds off and when i looked more it was a replacement inner wing?????
it did take me a while to figure out why the bonnet didnt shut properly anymore !

That reminds me of my first nova,it was getting a bit rough so decided to pull it apart and sort it out.I undid the strut brace and took it off heard a smashing noise and the windscreen smashed due to the hole front end colapsing.:confused:
