Hi guys need a bit of advice. I have done plenty of searching on the chim and griff pages concerning lifting the body off the chassis. I am almost ready to do the lift but HOW THE F**k do you get access to the 2 no bolts that are described as being at the front of the transmission tunnel just below the dash. I have removed the gear knob,handbrake handle,and lifted the transmission tunnel cover off but where oh where are these 2no bolts? p.s i have managed to fab a body lifting/support device from cuplock scaffold. I will post pics at a later date if it works. thanks Tom.

All smiles now after carefully removing some of the carpet off the transmission tunnel, the section that is under the dash, i managed to find and undo them. For future reference for anybody else they are approx 30 to 40 mm back from the 2 no airvents below the centre of the dashboard. Just the handbrake cable, steering column uj"s and brake and clutch pipes on the inner wing to go. woohoo
