Body off restoration
Discussion
Rich you have no reason to feel bad, I under took a project myself and I know now it's complete
that I'd have done a couple of things differently, I also put the engine back without detailing/rebuilding it.
3months later it was out again!
You're doing such a detailed job I think you may regret not spending some time detailing the lump whilst you can.

Fitted some heat shield to help protect the chassis and put the thermal blanket back on. Almost seems a shame to cover it all up.
I had a day off work on Monday so with two engine lifts a trolley jack and 4 axle stands I managed to lift and then lower the body back on. It all went pretty smoothly and took about 3 hours. Now starts the task of connecting everything up.

Well it's all back together and after sorting out a dodgy lambda sensor it passed its MOT first time. I also had a fault with the instrument pod and door opening circuit and chased this down to a bad earth. That's all sorted now and after a faultless 200 mile journey down to work it's now just had its first proper clean and polish.

Congratulations, it must be nice knowing that everything is fresh underneath, I'd love to have my chassis stripped and re-coated but I've been working on so many full-on projects over the last few years I can't face it yet! I'm forcing myself to enjoy it and try to finish other projects before getting stuck in with the Tuscan.
