Another one bites the dust.
Rear quarters are now in the spare parts bin.

save rear quarters? Interesting. I have that Arizona '81 931 losing it's parts. Gonna pull doors, most of interior, anything unboltable. So, body panels worth saving? No rust on car at all. Title was signed by, like, 3rd and 4th owner, and never submitted to DMV. Free to anyone who hauls it away!

Chuck, can you provide some instructions on where/how you cut those off? I tried with a sawzall on one of the earlier cars I scrapped, but gave up.

Here's the car prior to starting to remove the rear quarters. I used a plasma cutter on the passenger rear and a sawzall on the driver rear.



The shot in my prior post shows the plasma cutter side. As it turns out, it was a pain with my plasma cutter because of the undercoating in the fender well and multiple coats of paint along the roofline. I then decided that I'd do the driver side with a sawzall.

Here's the driver side.



I didn't take the time to drill out the spot welds on the inner wheel arches and just cut them both sort of in the middle of the inner fender wheel arches with the sawzall. I figured it would be easier to dip the panels to remove the undercoating and expose the spot welds if I need to prep them for transplant onto my racecar. I also didn't take the entire C pillar up to the roof on the driver side.

BTW I only used a 6 inch blade (24 teeth per inch) on my sawzall - not the long ones you see at a chop shop. All in all, the sawzall method was about three times as fast as the plasma cutter (undercoating, bondo and paint issues).

Here's a shot as I say Adios to the '82 931.

I have two 931's

One complete and another that I bought most of the parts from a guy that was building some sort of a race kit car and quit.

EDIT: I should also add that I have a spare 931 snail shell so another car must have passed on to give me the opportunity to buy that one.

Patand, is that air intake in the front below the radiator closed off? If yes, how was it done and what's the thinking there?

Just looks like it in the pic. Not sure what I'm looking at...
