There's a dent just above the front trunk latch that is not visible in the picture I posted of Goober yesterday (What Shock is This). The PO mentioned he barely submarined under the back of a "brake light minus" Mustang that stopped in front of him. Damaded the drivers side trurn signal pods too. Ok, so I can't open the front hood using the cockpit pull. Any suggestions on how to break into it? I'm not opposed to drilling an access hole behind the bumper if need be. I have a TIG, so no probelms closing up any holes.

QUOTE(jwade @ Oct 30 2003, 05:41 PM) Slightly off topic, is there a way to access the rear trunk in case the latch fails. It hasn't happened yet, but with my luck it will. nope. they only way without cutting would be to go through the engine compartement, remove one of the plastic cups that hold the targa latches and try to fiddle in something long, maybe wrench extensions etc. the easier way is to attach a thin cable to the lock-mechanism, drill a small hole in the trunk floor, route it through, put a loop or little handle on it and just pull it if needed. it'll be right above the exhaust, so don't use anything flammable (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Andy |
