Please say they didn't cut through the spars and it was just stubborn bolts. Please..?

I would assume that to get to that location originally, the Lightning had already been chopped. :((

I take it the only cutting was where she had been rewelded back together.

Can you say where this lightning is heading? or is it to a private collector who wants to stay annonymous? Whilst this will never turn again in anger, still looking forward to my annual lightning fix at Brunty in 2 weeks :D
