Well done, Jamie! 
Not only Lada's have fallen victim to this slam panel treatment. This otherwise neat-looking Rx-2, for example. The owner hack-sawed off the whole center section in order to "make room for the rad". Messaged the seller with a question about the slam panel treatment. As we know, it does wonders for body rigidity.    In response, he simply removed the picture! Hope the new owner follows your example!

There's no benefit to removing that top section. The rad doesn't even sit in the gap

Another piece to the puzzle. New engine crossmember (even tho this engine doesn't bolt to it..... but the bottom wishbones do)

WISHBONES! on a lada !! Who'd a thunk it ?

Removable bolt on beam.

Give the owner the option of lowering the engine out the bottom of the car if needed

Or remove the sump

Used MSA spec roll cage tube, so the roll cage bender came in handy

Not ideal to have bends straight after the exhaust flange. . . But space or lack of permits
