Can you drill a hole for a turning basin? Preferred in a single layer area.

Would it safe to use a grinder with a cutting disc? Not saying the tool wielder is safe to do so!!!

It would be easier than trying to make a turn with a sawzall?

I made the turn ok, drilling two holes , but got hung on the structural member that holds the back seat and provides a lot of frame strength. It is going to need a grinder to go through that, too much structure for a blade

These cars do not come apart easily. That’s why we drive them

Well, I guess that's a good sign that it's hard to get through. Definitely a selling point.

There is some massively thick steel and framemembers in the back corner near the rear door.

It’s going to be a ***grind****

to get through those
