Does anybody want any panels that I can de tack out of this 131cl as its going within next 2 or 3 weeks time permitting.  Im taking the rear gutter out for my own use and I will remove the scuttle panel as thats in good condition and its one of the easier panels to remove also thinking of having the bulkhead (firewall) out as its rhd and maybe the roofpanel ?

I will have a look when I get back to it probably tuesday but I think most of the outer panels are dented from memory but the structure is very good in places.

Im in uk in surrey,? I am going to have a go at removing roof skin but as ive found before with these cars removing every spot weld you can see doesnt mean it is going to come off or even attempt to move as they may have brazed it at the edges etc ?

If you don't want the roof pillars just cut through each with a grinder and lift the roof off. It is obviously heavier that way but the roof panel does not distort and the job is really quick and easy Grin

im just going to remove the panel as a part i dont want the whole framework with it and Im thinking that once the screens out and the outer scuttle removed and the front pillars covers clipped off it leaves the inner scuttle which is one complete panel with the front of the pillars, just trying to salvage as many decent parts as possible of it if my spot weld drills last?  if I was just going to cut it up I would get the logging axe out.
