As you know I'm a mechanical numpty (no, not a robot) but I can lift stuff. If you need a hand please ring me.

I've got a couple of quite high sturdy ramps I can bring over if they are of use (too steep to drive a TVR onto as the back end hits the floor!).

And Tony the MOT examiner is always good for info if you need it (his second Alpine is coming on well, the Tiger's a bit slow though).

Hi Barkeychoc,

Good luck - as you are aware the body came off mine a couple of weeks ago - if I can help you in any way I will try my best - one of the thing I found difficult was seperating the body from the chassis - everything was undone and it felt like it was glued on, when we did the try lift it lifted at the front first and the rear second - lifting together was a different kettle of fish, it took alot of wriggling and pushing / lifting for them to part - 7 lifting and 2 under the car making sure there where no connections (I was convinced that there would be) - the only thing I fould which was not on the fantastic links / guides is an earth connection to a stud welded on the chassis above the fuel sender.

Best Regards

Sean PS Mine will be stripped to chassis on Sunday.
