You can do it yourself, they're not heavy

Remove as much as possible, i.e. roof and sides, make sure seat box is undone, lift up each corner one by one and put it on blocks, watch for the central cross member too and then slide it backwards
Or if everything is removed you can also just tip if off the side using some long bar and some tyres to catch the tub when it falls, a tree and some long rope can also be used as a hoist

mine is in it's lightest form right now, i.e. no cappings floor or lights etc and it's a real pain to lift, the weight is just about ok but actually manoeuvring it to a position where i can take the full weight is hard,
i wouldn't want to try a fully laden on, especially if it's a first time move with rust and grime!

I had to do a 109 tub by myself that was more of an arse, had to get help to put it back on but getting it off was ok

best advice i can give for putting it back on is to lift the back end and sit a length of 3x2 timber on top of the chassis crossmember to clear the rear fixing tabs then drape some old carpet over that then stand on the chassis where the seatbox was and just slide the bugger off the back end till it stands upright
then just walk round it and get yer shoulders under the seat back bulkhead lean forward and walk ( ever seen ninja turtles )

I think I'll just organise another pair of hands to get it back on!
Thanks for the feedback. Tub needs some steel repair sections under the rear floor (any idea what they're called??) and its corroded through in a few spots in the floor plate so a new one if them, not too bad I guess?
Still need to start a build thread....
