Removal of the body
Has anyone done this?
Im after a few tips please
So far I have removed:-
Mounting Bolts
Wiring loom seperated from the body
Aircon pipes and heater pipes removed from bulkhead fittings
Brackets holding pipes etc. to body removed
Steering shaft removed from rack
Is there anything else before I attempt to lift the body of tomorrow evening

Chassis is bent on the front cross member and has pushed everything out of square
Rather than cut and weld a new piece in etc. i decided to buy another chassis
£300 for the chassis and a few mates will get this job done in no time

A day would be enough to save the pages as pdf or print them all.

what about the crushed n/s roof /A pillar or is a reflection
When you get to the "hello, LRO classified ads? I've got an unfinished project for sale....." stage, can I have the wheels
Take enough pics as you go and you could make a mint from Haynes Manuals I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
