Today I.......... Went to the bodyshop to explain where I want the A2 cut in half, ready for the trailer project (It could not be saved and put back on the road unfortunately, so I am giving it an alternative life as a trailer.
This is it ready for the chop.

The cut will be just in front of the B pillar (to help maintain the strength)
An A frame from a (braked) trailer will be grafter on the chassis.
The cutting and grafting is not that complicated, it is the building of the front to cover the opening. I want this to be shaped rather than just a flat sheet.
But while I was there I had a good look at the A2 pickup project they are working on.
They were amazed that when they cut the rar of the roof off the whole car was trotally solid and not floppy in the least, The door gaps etc. were perfect and the doors closed as they would normally.
They are welding up the rear bdoors as you can see and a neat job they are doing of it.
