Body off....what would you change??

[neal1980]

Im guessing next Winter I will be lifting the body so what annoys you that you could change when its ripped apart...

Im thinking of the 100amp fuse, routing this inside the car or engine bay.

Moving the battery in the boot to increase passenger legroom.

Any other idears welcome

The annoying bunch of relays and gubbins in the footwell, get the engine ecu mounted properly. Obviously, sorting the chassis out with some rust protection. Change all the stuff that's hard to get to, fuel pipes, heater hoses etc.

My eyes are lot happier since I put carbon filters (cooker) in the inner wings.

I'm not sure there is anything specific to do while the body is off?? Diff bushes, electrical re-routing... cant see any of it requires the body to be removed. Ensuring the chassis is good, and nobody has mentioned doing any work on the tub are the main things. I would clean the bottom of the tub & give it a good coat of POR15 to keep the water away.

that list sounds very familiar....

Why not just lose the 100amp fuse???
One less thing to go wrong...

I also replaced the handbrake cable...like spend said earlier, everything else is easy to get to...
