It’s a little elaborate to do it like this, but it suits the step-by-step, small bites at a time, mentality. If i would have dropped the subframe with the engine and gearbox i would have had to re-assemble everything afterwards and “re-invent the wheel”, whereas now I just strip away everything I don’t need and just connect the dots afterwards.
It’s going to be ace. I don’t know these cars but I can see straight away that if you try to split the body it looks like the runner for the sliding door will go with it. Would there not be enough access just through the back door? Like a Metro 6R4 or there’s a company on UA-cam that are putting a Lamborghini engine in the back of a Land Rover. The only access they have is the rear hatch and rear side doors. You could do the same with removable rear side windows. Anyway looking forward to the build 👍🏻
The runners would be 50/50 on the part that stays and the part that you take off. But the mounting points are easily accessible, so it would be four simple bolts to unbolt it from the rear part before removing that. There is probably enough room, but I want to make it easy to work on in the future. Especially when you keep in mind that it will be an itterative process of building this car.
Love this project!
i am from the town that produced tjorven, we have a real nice museum a bit out of town that is cheap to visit.
I know and i really want to go there with my tjorven one day!
thats a lot of work to cut a S60

Can't wait for the fabrication for the Tjorven project. It is going to be epic with that engine!
I hope so! And if not I’ll figure out how to put a second engine in the front 🤷♂️
