Default Removing rear quarter panels

Hi,

I have an S2000 that I am breaking for a project i am doing. A few people are asking if they can buy the rear wuarter panels but obviously they are part of the chassis itself and I am wondering if anyone has any idea of how to cut these panels out or what the easiest best method of going about doing this would be? Can it be done with simple tools or would I need something more specialist?

Thanks for all the help in advance!

Cal

In the states we call it 'parting out'.

Never done it with an S, but generally removing a Q panel involves drilling out all the spot welds, then prying off the panel. So look for the seams where panel is attached to chassis, and start drilling...

The inside wheel well metal work and the external Q panel are attached to one another with spot welds along the lip of the wheel well opening. There may be additional spot welds at the rear of the door jamb and at the top edge under the soft-top compartment trim. A quick look in the Manual would confirm for you where the spot welds are located I am sure.
