Wanting to lift a Chimaera body

[Viafiume]

Hello

Does anybody know how much a Chimaera body shell weighs, going for a lift and want to make sure the garage is set-up properly before starting.

Thanks

Whole car is only a bit over 1000kg so allow 400 and should be well covered?

Reports on here normally say two blokes per corner for a manual lift. Plenty of variety on an assisted lift. Two engine cranes, once each end will do it. When I did mine I raised the lot on a hydraulic ramp, strapped the body to the roof and dropped the chassis out of the bottom. Easy enough depending on set up and equipment in your garage.

If you need muscle a cry for help and an offer of beer all round normally gets the job done.

I did mine on my own with two jacks, but I wouldn't recommend it. There is a guide somewhere on t'interweb with a list of where the bolt holes are, etc. I'll put it up if I remember where I saw it.
