Same stupid laws up here Newbs... Couldn't have a RRC with 3.5, but no problems with a Fairmont Ghia with LSD and 4.0L I6...

Well I got some more work done on the commodore today . With a grinder , drill , hammer and a chisel things fall off

. I cut off the front radiator support panel due to it being bent and full of filler . I also took the doors off . It's amazing how quick the doors come off with the tool that was made for the job

.

what does the door hinge tool look like mate. I once had to take the doors of a Gemini and the hinges look the same, took me ages with a punch

When we did it to my VH many years ago we made what was essentially a slide hammer.

Yeah pretty much just a slide hammer with a thread at one end with a small piece of steel the same size as the door pin . would be easy to make but borrowing it from a panel beater was easier
