ha ha ha try one of the hole saws then
An air powered grinder. That's what I used on mine and triple check the placement of the paper jig.

if your going the holesaw route a verry good tip when drilling alloy with these fukkers is to cover the saw teeth on the holecutter with plenny of lard or vaselene as it reduces snatching and gives a cleaner cut specialy with sheet matereals
learned from a hgv trailer roof fitter drilling vent holes in sheet aluminium

dunno but my guess is hes installing a porta potty in the back so he can empty his back actor after all them chippies
Hole saw gets my vote too. I recently used one to drill a 165mm hole in the boot floor on my landy.
You needed to drill through the boot floor? aint that a bit overkill to go through the boot floor of a landy?

Could use the guy from qinetiq, just saw him on a crappy prog drilling a rivet hole with a windy and when it broke through he made a big enough hole to climb throughbought one of them southdown wing mounts.just need to cut fairly big hole in wing.bit scared of making a hash of it.did one on a suzuki with a jigsaw.didnt mind rippin into that because ater all was only a old nacka.
and some poor sod is probably flying about in that wokka today

I used a 75mm air cut off saw, just make sure you have it marked well and triple check, erase any 'wrong' lines if you remark. Cut the hole slightly smaller if unsure, you can always remove more but you cant add any back, finally take your time!
Oh yeah, do it with the wing on the car, it makes it easier to cut and also to check if its all fitting properly
