Today I tackled one of the most painful projects to date - tearing out the metal shelf for the front trunk spare cover. It was in the way of where my RX-7 cooler needs to mount so out it came.

It was painful because I could not cut the spot weld below the headlight assembly, so I basicall used an air chisel to rip the metal out.

Here is the shelf with the spot weld cut:

Here is the same area with the shelf removed:

And this is the torn up sides which will need to be repaired:

Now it is on to designing and fabricating the cooler mounts....
