Started the process of stripping out the rear tub (110 csw) in order to seriously investigate chassis - so first stage , off with the roof. Searched around... and couldn't find a thread about removing the 110 roof... other than "it is bloody heavy!". All the searches came up with : remove roof and..... .
So... it seems you just unbolt it all round... and lift off. Is it really that simple? Nothing I do is ever that simple. OK.. so have unbolted it, and only struggled with two bollts! unheard of!!!! (its a 1984 afterall.... everything is seized!)
Now... before I go an accost a poor passing neighbour to give me a hand off with it... anything I don't know about? Any reason it shouldn't just lift off?
Cheers..

LR's are like rabbits, they leave lots of little presents on the floor for you to deal with!started her up for a few mins and found a new oil leak
Got the hammerite out today, roughly sanded down some patches of rust in the cab and painted over them. Painted drivers footwell as that had a few bits of rust coming up... passenger footwell will be replaced when I have some monies for the panel and time to learn how to weld! For the time being a bit of plastic covered cardboard shall cover the hole and keep my passengers feet dry... (sort of... gaps under the doors don't help either!)
Other then that, checked the levels under the bonnet, had a quick look at the chassis... gonna paint that soon when I have some coins Noticed little damp oil patch around the end of the rear prop shaft... looks like the oil seal is on its way out Dam!

Stood on the roof and bonnet to watch the Olympic torch go past. Gang of school kids had to be chased off, little boogers were crawling all over it without a by your leave ..

Got the new HD springs on, feels much better on the road and looks a bit more aggressive

How much of a difference in height do you reckon? Mine must have been lifted at least and inch

I've gained quite a bit
just posted some pics, I think I've gained about 2 or 3 inches from the old saggy ones! I know the lift its self was a 1.3" one so 2 and a bit most likely, drives a lot nicer though and doesn't wallow

Today (well yesterday actually) i had a go at repairing my window ECU, typical rear window failure...... and by being too heavy handed managed to bugger up the pcb to the point that none of the windows work !
Hopefully i've got a replacement on the way..... will be a bit more gentle next time.
