Default Stripping an X308 in time lapse...

Hey guys,

I thought it may be interesting for people to see, how quickly and easily these cars can be stripped. This is just the first part of outside and engine bay. The interior will come later...


Btw., I lost my temper with the rear bumper. Before someone complains: the bumper wasn't worth handling carefully...

Very easy to loose your sh*t with the rear bumper, I nearly did with a friend's XJ8 fitting a towbar, what I thought would be a relatively quick and simple job turned into a grueling evening with a grinder and avoiding nice paintwork....

I was thinking it would be easy. But of course that wouldn't. Then again, the rear bumper was toast. So no real loss

Rear bumper? I couldn't get my front one off when changing wings. Undid the 'big bolt' at the front, it would only slide forward about an inch and that was it.
