I'm pulling the front of my 90 to bits to get the top corners of the bulkhead welded with a pair of those ready made patches.
I've managed to get the wings off - thanks for the earlier advice about getting the spats off the wheel arches, I ended up drilling most of the plastic tabs out as they are impossible to reach the back of to push out the middle bit....
I also removed the second door tonight - yipee after having to drill out the lower bolts when the captive nuts became less captive and started to turn! Where's the best place to get replacement for these - bolts, nuts and clips? Thanks again for the advice on this, ended up buying No4 PZ bits, 3/8" bit holder and 3/8" to 1/2" converter to fit my impact driver then a breaker bar to unscrew them. Phew.
Last step is to remove the windscreen and frame. Looking at it there are a couple of hinges which would appear to allow the windscreen to fold down onto the bonnet. There's no way you could do this with a hard top by the looks of things, presumably it's for soft tops to let the air flow through when you are in the desert or plains of Africa? In fact I don't recall ever seeing a windscreen folded down in real life ever, why do they fit these brackets as standard???
THE QUESTION: Anyway, enough wittering, I just need to check what I need to do to get the windscreen frame out. Is it simply remove the bolts and pull it out? Can I replace the rubber strips along the bottom and top of the frame?
Regarding the welding, I'm getting a pro to do this bit, any ideas on how much it might cost? Welding only, no dismantling necessary!
Thanks again, David
