[DML] Re: Rear frame cutting

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pearce designed the frame to be cut and bolted in this manner. I'm 
not sure DMC/Lotus did. I'd be cautious about it, it's undoutedly a 
structural member in addition to being the main source of support for 
the bumper.

It's not all that much in the way to removing the engine, by the way. 
Just remove the facia and pull away!
