Body removal
With more strength in the body due to new sills. I braced it across the tops of the doors and across the car. I also added the weird looking plywood wing things shown- I found a site where someone showed how they could be used to support the body when off the car. They take the weight and avoid the sills getting crushed under its own weight.
12 bolts to undo/ break off.... and I nervously started lifting.
In the end it was fairly straightforward. Takes up quite a lot of space though- like having two cars! The final photos show how easy it is to get the body on its side with the plywood attachments.
