Ease is inversely proportional to how much you want to use it again...

very easy.... angle grinder gets it off pretty quick

or you can drill out all the spot welds, which takes a bit longer

It got a defect notice, so why does that mean it has to be sold or cut to piece? Why not just fix the two things wrong and get it inspected?

Just remember:

"Installation of the nose cone is then a reversal of the removal procedure"

you dont have time to fix a few really easy things, but you have time to drill all the spot welds out or cut the panels off with a grinder? :roll:

My five cents is to sell the shell complete. That way someone who does have the time or money can get it going again.

just realised - is it Leema's old car?

I think he had in his signature that it had a dodgy roundnose conversion or something

but anyway, drill out the spot welds, or grind off whatever welds are there
