Title: Taking the chassis out of a Europa S1 series.
Post by: HARDYCA on Sunday,June 19, 2016, 12:02:37 PM

Hey folks,

 OK,  So I have a 1967 Europa S1 sitting in storage right now waiting to be worked on.  Of course the chassis is toast so I will need to remove it.  I have seen discussions on several sites weighing the pros and cons of taking an S1 type chassis out through the firewall vs out through the bottom. 

What I have NOT seen are any step by step guides or photos showing either process.

(They must be out there somewhere the internet has EVERYTHING.  Right?)

Does anyone out there know of such a collection of instructions, pictures or videos of either?

Thanks for the help.

Carl

Technical questions should be in the garage section.  This section is where they put already completed technical articles

Dang it, I was hoping that you had a write up on the process. I may be in the same boat in the next couple of years.
