So, I will be chopping up a teener in the near future for parts etc. and to open up my parking space for another teener. What lines should I follow while demolishing this poor beast in order to save the usefull pieces? Obviously the unboltable gets unbolted, but in terms of the sectioning of the carcass, how should a butcher proceed? Where should I cut? Where shouldn't I cut?

Not being a Porsche engineer, how does one unbolt the unboltable?

When I want to salvage the good parts os a tub, I try to keep the cuts in the bad parts and leave the pieces as big as I can. I left the last one that I kept in front and back halves until I knew what I was going to need. I did cut out the front trunk floor as big as I could so anyone that needed it could drill out the spot welds if necessary and use the piece. I eventually cut the back half into essentially quarters. One of which was used on my /6 resto. The front half later had a fender removed, but is otherwise still intact, so the winshield frame and side door jam sections are still usefull.
It's not an exact science... |

Be prepared to sit on the pieces awhile....they never sell when ya have them.....you toss a piece and that's the one someone wants....
I STILL have a piece that Ginter wanted three years ago.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) Gonna toss it in his coffin if'n I live that long.... |

The car is stripped already. The frame is not repairable so I am going to "alter" the car's structure in order to store it on pallets up on racks at my shop. |

Sell my parts? no no no no I have lot's of storage space I just want to chop... this car... up in my shop...and have pieces that will be easier to re-use without having to drill out every spot weld on the car. To date I have only discarded the holes in the car, everything else I am going to sit on for a while. Thanks Gint. |
