Morning everyone,
Got some really bad news the other weekend, my chassis is rotten along the bottom of the main sections, and under a few of the brackets so rather than spend a stupid amount of money getting plates welded to what I can only assume is bloody thin and rotten steel....I'm going for a galv chassis
So here's the thing, the 90 is my main car, so I can't strip the body back as I would like to, and in all fairness the body is in decent condition with exception to the doors but that don't matter right now. So I want to lift the body off the chassis as a whole as I have seen on East Coast Land Rovers site, and from a few others. I have a pretty keen bunch of landy people from the local club who are more than willing and knowledgable to help me out but I need to find somewhere covered to do it (sorted), an engine crane (working on) and some way of lifting the body off the chassis. That last one is the one I need some ideas for!
So yeah, any ideas for lifting the body, and any tips in general would be very very appreciated....I've got a month or so to work all the bits and bobs
