Had some fun this afternoon with my scrapper.

Post by Mothman »

Managed to cut the front off the scrapper estate along with both rear wings this afternoon. The nearside rear wing will be used to sort my TXD when she goes back to Malcolm next month. Its a shame we cant get new panels. At least the scrapper will keep one of my motors alive for a few more years to come.

Barry, do you have a new nearside rear panel for an Estate? You are visiting a mate of mine in Wadhurst tomorrow, where i also live.

Be good if you do!!! Its like the one in the picture, a rear left hand side to which the rear bumper clips to. Cash will be waiting if you do.

That's a problem to solve in my future too! Currently I'm thinking heat and very careful levering, but if anyone else has a better idea I'm willing to listen. As far as I know, apart from 2 bolts by the vent these are just stuck in place.

I'd be wondering along the lines of a hot wire to cut through the adhesive. Never done it so will cross that bridge if and when I have to!
