We start by cutting the roof first once a tape line has been established.

Now it's time to cut through the top of the roof after cutting through the inside structure.

After cutting through with the die grinder, Stephen Braun uses the hacksaw to finish cutting the last bits of the roof.

A larger view of the sawing action.

Now to finish up the other side.

A close up as the sparks begin to fly.

After cutting through the roof, it's time to cut the floorboard.

Big sparks are flying as Stephen Braun cuts through the center hump of the floorboard.

Almost there!

A view of the action seen through the two halves of the Trabant.

Time to cut away at the side structure of the car.

Stephen Braun is now cutting at the outside part of side support structure to remove the last bits of steel still holding the Mercedes Benz together.

The Mercedes Benz is finally cut through! Now both cars are in two parts. Eins Werden is about to begin!

We moved the Trabant rear half behind the Mercedes front half to get a better idea of how these two car halves will come together. The wheels are off the Mercedes in order to remove the front springs. We have to get the two halves level so that we can begin to the work of bringing them together. This will begin tomorrow.
