hi just wandering if anyone has tips on how to remove a datsun 120y boot floor along with rear panel that has tailights on it.

obviously you cant use electrical tools like angle grinder so how would i go by romoving them as its all spot welded in.

drilling each spot weld would take to long because you then have to seperate the two pieces?

any ideas would be appreciated

also if anyone has a 120y they are wreking with these parts rust free let me no.

Thanks!

Hack saw and tin snips? Would take ages still. Will they let you take battery powered tools. You Can get 12 and 24v angle grinders

Surely the wrecking yard has gas cutting available? Ask them to cut out the bit you want.

if all else fails, you can buy a cheap generator that would be good enough for an angle grinder for about $100. 2400W GMC from Big W should cover it just.
