elie boone Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 2 days ? Simon you must have truck loads of thee, i would say less than a day maybe 6 h. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 6 hours? Including drilling out all the rivets and removing all the panels, sounds very otimistic to me. Although I took a leisurely approach I think I logged about 36 hours over 3 weekends . I'd say Simon's not a million miles away though.....

elie boone Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Why would you drill out the rivets ? just chissel the heads off, it's not that you will keep the exterior panels. Even the interior panels, it would look strange, new exterior and old interior panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Drilling out rivets with a sharp new 4mm drill and air drill was very fast on my car. Far easier than using a chisel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
