ORR if its not to far, get a friend who works around various parts of the trade to give you a hand :thumb:
Your very kind my love, i will definately bear that in mind. Your expertise will come in very handy actually as i have to get rid of a bit of asbestos too!
We now have the shell completely stripped to nothing, bar the steering rack and column, rear beam, and front hubs :biggrin:
Next job is to remove the last bit of sound deadening and start prepping the seams for welding, as well as try to scrape enough money for the cage together!
Heres some more pics anyway..
Dash out revealing even more loom (cant believ how much wiring an SPi engine needs, there was less on the GTe loom i stripped out of the blue one!!!!

Engine oot no thanks to my useless engine crane which wouldnt lift it high enough, so the front panel chop happened earlier than expected! I would have dropped it on the floor but i decided, as I was on my own at that particular time, i reasoned it was easier and less risky of damaging anything to lift it out the top.

Even more gone

Im pleased to say that after a day mostly under the car removing the tank, brake and fuel lines, i discovered no horrors, and its as solid underneath as it is on top!
Cups of tea = 3
Eaten = 1 Bounty bar, sausage roll, Packet of Doritos
Ciggies = Too Many
