Taken some more photos today as iv been going. also got a few questions if anyone can help.
First off i took to the lower cross member with the grinder and soon found out it wasnt the best way about this.
especially as i got to the tricky corner bits.
so this is the nearside after i found it was much easyer and time efective to drill the spot welds out, but not after id wasted a good bit of the morning grinding, as can be seen.
The next few photos are the offside to which i didn't use the grinder at all, i tried to take a picture of each side to show were i drilled the spot welds.
The Green Dots show the only places that i drilled. it was easy to see were the spot welds were through the paintwork.
Because the power steering pipes were in the way of the drill for this side i decided to got neanderthal on it and got a nice sharp chisel and put it in between the metal at the top and hit it with a lump hammer.(yellow arrow) worked fine and caused no damage, just sheared all the welds.
so next i got the misses to pick up a hammer and help me. we got the new part offered up and bolted on. going to borrow the welder from work tomorrow and finish the job off.
