Hi there,could anyone point me in the right direction towards removing the battery plate strenghter,I've drilled out all the spot welds that I could see but I'm obliviously missing some as it won't budge,I would like to take it out as one piece if I can,any help is much appreciated.

Possibly bonded as well as spot welded, What's the reason for the srengthning plate removal?

All done now thanks,I want to check for rust and battery is in the boot,I saw somebody on the 106 rallye forum doing it on a pretty serious build so I kinda copied the idea.

Link to the 106rallye forum is better as some pics seem to be missing but I can't find it right now.

just lots of spot welds and 3 layers of steel, we removed that to fit a satchell mounting and the lowest layer was like a caterpillar had been at a leaf.
