Chim body off work sequence

[CHIMV8]

Thinking off taking the body off to sort any chassis paint gemlins if any,after the summer?

Anyone push me in the right direction, to do everything in the right order and how long it would take?

Either that or i pay some one £1800......is it worth the hassle

Cheers

a day to disconnect everything and lift the body, a day to get the body back on. should do it then probably another day checking and fettling...

once you have the body off though its how long is a piece of string.

are you just going to leave the chassis assembled and clean and paint or are you going to take everything apart and get it shot blasted etc.

if you take it all apart you'll probably end up replacing a lot of extra stuff I have.


bushes, suspension bolts, brake lines, fuel hoses, wishbones, wheel bearings ball joints, track rod ends. pas hoses etc etc...

Graham,most of the items at the end of your reply i have already done.

Would probably clean/paint and check outriggers etc.

What needs to be disconnected to allow body lift?

Hi.Though not thinking of what you had to do yet.I was curious though as to what was involved. Tell you what...I was well impressed with how you explained what to do,and how to do it.You should write a book.You will have inspired lots of others to have a go.........Nice one mate.

That is the book, I just forgot to add the immortal words "Assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
