If you just excessively cool the drill with plenty of water, you can achieve that with 1 normal metal drillbit... :closedeyes:

Front clam off ready to for repair. Bit of damage to front vallance but easilly sorted also fan hanging off the rad so will have to sort that out while the clam is off

This was the worst bolt. Had to get the drill on it!

This was the other one. (Managed to get clam off with Cliffe's help without taking bolts out at was spinning.)

Firstly to get to the bolt in the door shut.

Secondly it's gotta come off to get re-sprayed.Same as the other side (I just need to work out how to get all the bits off I don't want sprayed!) What you doing Sunday?
