i got to fire up the new angle grinder this morning, its still cold & wet out there so didn't do much. The new Bosch grinder is just so much better than the £7 B&Who specials, cuts so much faster i couldn't keep the line straight lol

because i've cut all the internal strengthening out of the bootlid it flexs very badly & i was worried about it bending when put on the floor, so i cut it in 2 lol

& for very hot days it can be used for ventilation lol

& with both panels in place you'd never know, i've got a few more panel clips to go on yet

if it starts sagging, just put back the last bit you took out. I'll let you have a rip on my welder if you want, just get the ice rink out first.....

aslong as i stick to within the chassis rails it should be alright, the new panel going in is alloy sheet so just be bolted or rivetted in. Thanks anyway mate

**PaulZX** · Saturday 2nd January 2010, 19:02

how is the ice rink coming along? surely not all melted yet?

yeh its all gone mate, it had thawed the day i cut the bootlid so got the sponge out & emptied all the water out

**p fandango** · Saturday 16th January 2010, 13:40

woke up this morning & the rain had washed the snow away & i could see BT again, braved it & got the angle grinder fired up

i think somethings missing

yep this bit lol, i am going to put an alloy panel over once i've finished. I'd like to move the petrol tankl mounts so i can cut some more of it out

she sits a bit high now, now at 268.7kg removed

**t5 pete** · Saturday 16th January 2010, 20:04

looking good pedro i dont know if ive asked you this but how about a fuel cell with rought a 40ltr tank or even more drastic and 25ltr one

**p fandango** · Saturday 16th January 2010, 20:15

the only thing putting me off a fuel cell really is that i want to be able to use it for decent runs, Nurburgring being one of them & for weekends out. I really need another fuel tank anyway as i screwed into the tank when i was mounting my stereo amplifiers so might be a better option
