Does anyone have a diagram showing the location of the body to chassis bolts, also a sequence of what to remove to lift the body.

This might be betterer.

What's up with it if you don't mind me asking?

colin247 · Aug 10, 2022

Thanks for the video, I want to lift the body off to use the chassis, axles, brakes and air suspension on a classic car.

Can't you find someone a bit lighter? The chassis on these is enormously heavy, unless you're building something like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, it's not going to make for a particularly sporting vehicle.

Interesting... Any pictures of the car your using please?
I always fancied sticking a mk1 golf on an 88" chassis but think either the LR or golf bods would frown..

Ah you want to make an unreliable classic

Shouldn't be too bad, I'm using a Jaguar engine and box so 2wd, it is a cheap way to get air suspension and Brembo brakes.

It has to hold a 1949 Buick so needs a bit of strength.

As is and what I am aiming for.

I see. You'll need some rigidity to keep the ends apart on that body.
Keep us posted as to how it comes along.

I quite like the idea of a Derelict.

They do some pretty amazing "upgrades" too - LS in a original Ford Bronco, for example..

That's the body ready to be lifted from the chassis.

Another 3.6 V8 diesel bites the dust.
