Different way to get rid of 88 Super Eta

[Chachi]

I used to have this 88 delphin super eta as a parts car, and instead of parting the whole thing, i donated it to our local Pattenburg 25 fire dept as a training car a few months back. They called my dad and I the other day and asked if WE wanted to use the tools and learn how to pop doors, and take the roof off for extraction! Needless to say, I was not hesitant whatsoever to put all the gear on and play with ridiculously strong tools.

the door spreader and the cutter are massively powerful hydraulic tools which made mincemeat out of our beloved bmw! they were also very heavy, the door spreader was over 50lbs, and to be able to maneuver it in full gear is not easy!

first i center-punched all four door windows and the rear, then took the cutter and cut straight through all six pillars. then we shut all the doors and i had to use the spreader and a pry bar to get in there and pop the locks open.

i have always respected firemen (especially volunteers) but after today truly get a sense of the things they go through. any of you on here that are firefighters, i give my props to you! and thank you for your hard work and dedication!

I knew someone was going to bitch about this.

I've got a hood you can have for free. And you only have to come to Chicago to pick it up instead of NJ! ;)

winters on its way! Me and some buddies used a old da integra hood as a sled last year, we pulled it behind a moped lol

i dont think i could ever destroy a bmw, even a shell. the pack rat in me would have to save it for parts.

ohhhh i loved vehicular extradiction class!
the Hurst tool(jaws of life) is a lot heavier than it looka on tv.

the cutters are fun too!

did you smack the roof with the pike pole and roll it back first or did you just cut the a, b, and c pillars them take it off.

did they let you jab the door tool (i forget it's name) wedge in there to make a purchase point for the Hurst tool or did you just jab it in there and start spreading?

That looks fun.

[der affe]
