    I jacked the car right up and then strapped the body to the shed frame using 2500kg ratchet straps, took the weight off the chassis with the ratchet straps and then lowered the chassis down. I then made some safety stands modifications to support the body, so it is still basically up in the air and I can work underneath safely. The chassis was then just pulled out from under the body. Hope this is of some help mate, Cheers

    Today I removed the kick down module on the side of the turbo400. Replaced the Oring, hopefully that has the constant even while sitting oil leak disappear. I then fitted a Ariel plug in the guard because it has an roof Ariel. I ordered a new thottle cable bracket, bonnet and speedo cable. Looking to put her back on road so just finishing the tidy up.
