abit more progress today, the strip out is now complete and is ready for cutting
engine out
engine bay
my chassis rails have a curve as it meets the bulk head, going to have to cut into it so can set back the box section to keep it true.

got everything sorted, no money for consumables but alot of spares and a nice set of alloys, went in today and cut it. it still very heavy so needs to go on a diet!!! going to cut alot out of it, bulk head and alot of the stenghening in the a pillars and sills and chassis rails, its going to have fram inside so the strengh of the car isnt a huge issue. the inside and outside (undeside) is going to get covered in black stone chip so im hoping it will cover alot of missing pannels etc

i jacked the front of the car up to get it level, measued the distance between the floor and sill on both sides so it was spot on.
marked the line across the roof, its at an angle so it pointed slightly towards the maion road we are based on, got some string and added a weight at each end and found my vertical lines (this is why i got the car level) measured both sides and are both spot on so the string idea worked.
welded the doors shut and set fire to the carpet
got the angle grinder out and went to work. the worst bits were the a pillars and sills!!

also make sure it has drainage holes, if not and it leaks it will add a load of weight

thanks for the replys, have a little look for an hour today. got the doors, wings and bonnet off to see what material can be cut out. there is alot!. will take alot of cutting or as its all spot welded together i might be able top use an air chissle so break the spots? alot of strenghing material can be removed. may make the car abit more flimsy but the frame i will make will keep it all together. i might removed the floor and bulk head as yet anmd cover the bottom with some kind of plastic. at the moment its just to heavy
