Started work today on stripping my new toy.

Has anyone got information regarding cutting of the chasis, etc, to "bob tail" it.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

in the past i have found, (this is where evryone goes ape!) but that just getting in to it, you only need to strip the the back seats, maybe a bit further, and then just hack into it with a grinder! then clean it up afterwards, i have sucessfully done 3 bobtails like this and one pickup bobtail, co u know, up to you, next time i will take some pics, then people can see the carnige!

IT's EASY.

It all bolt together depending on the age of the RR.  Decide how much you want to cut out and get happy with an angle grinder . Either refit rear chassis crossmember or fab your own.
Hardest parts are what to do for a fuel tank and were to put it , I used a tank from a Suzuki SJ because I had one . Roof can be tricky to get to look right after cutting I joined mine through sunroof area so not much showing after join.

A nice little project for Christmas day to work off the turkey.
