Afternoon folks,

Just wondering if anyone had any hints/tips/tricks or advice on taking the torsion bar out of the hinges in the boot of a 2 door.

I'm going to be fitting a fibreglass boot lid on a road/track e30.

When I test fitted the boot & closed it the tension in the boot hinges was causing the fibreglass boot to "bow" in the middle.

If possible I want to leave the hinges there & avoid using bonnet pins,

I'm not bothered about propping the boot open, I just don't want to damage the fibreglass boot.

So, anyone done it?

Thanks in advance.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
