ALL by my self! madness i know! so stipped the bottom cage mounts off then dropped it the car on the deck then took of top mount and hey presto! just waiting on a few of the mates to come over now to lift body away and get it stored over the winter so can tackle the body work, not sure if going to keep it in my garage as not a lot of room to move but be handy then could just go out for a few hrs after work etc,other option is my mates body shop but hes tight for space,and just moved garage so things a bit crazy at moment, then need to get engine to my other mate to be stripped and rebuilt,and some nice shiny paint,heres a couple of pics loads to do! but hopeful get it on the road next summer! lol so thats where iam at the now still loads to do! but hopefully want be to long before more progress made! take it easy stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
