Hello all I'm glad to say that the first of the major steps in my retoration is complete. I have sucessfully removed my body from the frame. The job took about 6 hours in total, and I am now somewhat happier than I was 6 hours ago. Iwould like to say a big thanks to all those who gave me advice on how to do it, Dave swingle, Nick (sorry don't know your full name) and Paul Winsor at Wingray Autos, There were many more and thanks to you to. I will load up some photo's in the file so you can see the process. Cheers again Paul 6463 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
