Body Off Checklist

[AREA]

Just over 6 years ago I undertook a body off chassis inspection which I created a checklist about. Over the years I've received many emails from fellow TVR owners who have successfully used that checklist to help them on their body off adventure.

In fact I received an email this week from a Pistonheader embarking on a body lift.

And so, being of an altruistic frame of mind this evening... should it be of use to anyone else with a chassis that's a tad on the grotty side (and I guess most un-checked Chimaeras are probably in that state by now), here's a link to it.

If you use it, PM me and let me know how you get on

I used it and it was brill, well done it must have taken you a long time to write it up, a big thanks from me lots of good info.
I'm still on welding so haven't put it back together yet

Brilliant guide, have bookmarked if I'm brave enough to do it.

great! Almost makes me want to do it, now that my engine is already out

Is it easier with a two post lift? Just lift it off and up ?

Superb guide. Already printed off to be used
I found your site while doing my research for this post,

The lift will be happening soon with your guide in hand and I'll report back how it went.

Thanks.

This is very handy. Thanks OP. I'm enjoying the last few days of driving this month before sorn'ing her and starting the body off resto.
