I removed the doors and the transmission tunnel on my TR3A, and...ehrm, uhm,
harumph...sawed the body in half with a hacksaw. Considerably lighter in two
pieces. Heartily recommended.
Course then again, your car may have cost you more than the $500 I paid for
mine, and may have floors that haven't rusted completely out, and rockers that
have more than a half-rotten vein of solid steel left in them. Something to be
said for hitting bottom, eh? ...Or for cars that no longer have a bottom, so
to speak? ...And by the way, what about people who say, "That car is solid
rust!" ...How can a car be solid if it's all rust????
Alas, the permutations are interminable!
