Did you not think to cover the screen before grinding ?


I'd be more worried about the newspaper and highly flamable liquid on the roof

I've seen a couple of cars burnt out doing simple hot work jobs, I always check , then double check the vehicle and have a good fire extingisher ready just in case ( although the TA is pretty much bare metal at the front )

There's a lip on the edge of the fire wall where I was grinding, this was directing the sparks towards where camera is and the ground.

G-unit was in the process of taping the window up ready for stone guarding the front fire wall when I said he should get a picture.

I made that mistake once . . . Never again.


As shifty says the sparks were going away from the screen, not a single mark on it and after going over with a razor blade scraper the screen is in excelent condition

Dash board is in the body shop this week, we removed all of the vinyl and foam covering from it so its just a plastic panel. A little body filler and it will be smooooooth then painted with some NEXTEL™ i had left over from another project leaving a super cool dash ready for the switches and guage

Without the filler it'd be lighter still.
