    Although at least there's a big positive from that pic, the past( stripped) and the future...
    Bluey - and of course you still taking the pics/posting... and Holly lurking somewhere

    There's still the one receiving upgrades to come back as well at some point...

    The one on the other side was removed by trees and foliage and such, I did however manage to remove off-side one without much fuss:

    don't forget this plastic bumper bracket, I spent a while finding one a while ago.

    "I'll have it stripped in a day" he said

    I thought that was optimistic

    Love to see Action Kit in error, well... Action

    As its not RS2 specific, am I allowed to ask for a piece off the shell?

    Bloody auto correct, wish I had been able to use air tools, would have speeded things up considerably.

    The two smashed CV joints are quite impressive as well, you really did knock the 5h1t of it!

    Anyway glad to be of help, plus I've got some useful parts for mine.

    Some good progress yesterday with top thanks to my Action Kit. I started in the early sunrise removing the side skirts which were a bit of a nuisance thanks to some adhesive used to the rear end piece. The less said about the mangled nearside the better:



    And how unfortunate that a fold in the roof made getting the headlining out in one piece impossible:





    I'd then raised it on axle stands to look at the exhaust and at some point around midday Kit arrived so we could motor on:







    Kit removed the front struts and some things called 'drive shafts' and 'propshafts':





    Disconnected the engine from anything tying it to the shell and then lifted the car over the engine:





    And with the rear subframe disconnected we were good to turn the car on it's side:







    Here is the kink in the rear subframe Kit was on about, must've taken quite a shunt to do that:



    And here is a bent track rod:



    Holly looking for jobs to do:



    Then after a long day it was time to right the car on some pallets (is that Kit performing Reiki on the car in the vain hope of repairing it?):



    Something's missing...:


    Huuuge thanks to my very own Action Man, Kit without whom the car would most likely remain a wreck on my driveway

    I'm just writing it up pictorially now.

    And it's 'gung-ho' not 'gun-ho'
