mk2 guard removal

question one, are you saving the guard your taking off?
there is  or maybe brass  welds at the top where the guard below the headlamp joins the front apron and possibly at the lower point of the guard and apron,
sometimes also behind the headlamp base at the top where it joins the apron headlamp hole,
and also sometimes at the sill panel area
you can use a hack saw to just slice through the brass in some spots and you will have to use oxy to melt in another spot
you still have spot welds down the seam of the front apron to lower front guard.
****** this is providing it is a virgin car.******
