I've run into my first DPO roadblock, in the process of disassembling my car.
Apparently, during a previous accident, the two bolts inside the grille opening, that connect to the fender, riped out of the engine bay side panel.
If I wanted to fix such damage, I imagine I'd weld a patch onto the engine bay panel, drill new holes, and bolt a new fender on normally. Mr. DPO decided to WELD THE NEW FENDER DIRECTLY TO THE PANEL!!!!
I tried running a reciprocating saw through the joint, to separate the welds (one at the former site of each bolt hole) but they proved tougher than I expected.
Anyone got any suggestions for eradicating welds in tight spaces?
