I purchased a 6 amp kawasaki reciprocating saw with fire rescue grade 9" 10 tpi saw blades.

I hope this is enough to cut through the rad. support on a W116 so I can more easily pull the engine and trans.

BTW the car is an absolute cadaver with more rot and rust than you can believe. I want these parts to use as a working model to learn the finer points of engine and transmission rebuilding.

As long as the blade can cut metal, you should be good to go, theres nothing that thick on these cars. Just hold on tight.

Thanks! Wish me luck.

WOW! I can't believe how easy it was to slice off the front of this car. Most of it was so rusty my brother-in-law was able to grab part of the frame and bend it by hand but the Dewalt 9" 10tpi fire and rescue blades were amazing.
