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?

what parts are you cuttin out?

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...

Well, we gotta be careful are we will be accused of running a "chop shop."

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....

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.

Ah, yes, well...

I guess I will be unbolting the bolted, denutting the nutted...

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.
