    They are spot welded! You can drill all of the spots out at the salvage yard or cut it out with a sawsall or with a plasma cutter which is the best and cleanest to use. I am in the saws all price range so that is the way I would have to go lol!
    If you are installing it in a 1st Gen you should get as much of the floor, wind tunnel & 2nd gen master cylinder acess area & cover!

    That's me cutting the DH out for my van. I tried drilling at first but that seam sealer crap they use is really tough to separate. I would have been there forever going that route so out came the sawzall and cutting wheels. Can you smuggle a plasma cutter and a generator past the front gate at the yard??
