QUOTE(Dr Evil @ Jun 9 2008, 07:59 PM)  My goal is to build a vintage racer. I have restored one 914 already but want to have a little fun with this one. It is in need of a lot of work but that's the part i enjoy most. I have the car completely stripped down and parts are in for the rear floor pan, cross member, and inner firewall. The car is on a rotisserie and has been supported with braces in the door wells and measurements are dead on. That's the good part. The bad part comes next. Time to remove those pieces. That's where i can use some advice. Is there a best way to remove those or do i just start cutting away? Attached thumbnail(s)

On my project, I cut out the rear half of the floor in sections (between the side sills and the center tunnel) along with the side sections of the cross brace. I made my first cuts, with a cutting disk, about an inch from the sides and rear, and just in front of the cross brace. I then went after the remaining edges with a spot weld cutting bit.
I did not remove the inner fire wall, just patched it in a couple of places, but that would be next. The the replacements would be the opposite order, rebuilding from the inner-most out. |
