Right, before I take an angle grinder to these bits:





And do irreversible damage, is there anything I need to think about/bear in mind?

Never done anything so drastic on a car before, I don't wanna go and fuck my baby up just because I didn't take a few minutes to consider the consequences!

TBH it was inevitable that you would have to grind away at something sooner or later, and i'll wager that there will be a good bit more grinding to be done before that engine is in.

So stop being a fairy and just get on with it :P

i would make a removable slam panel. chop a section out neatly, then chop a slightly bigger section out of one in the scrappy so it overlaps and you can bolt it back into position.

Get the front bumper off mofo and you will see the front sub mounts, the rears are obvious. Look at project Y for good sub pics.
