Head's a shed
I had the same this weekend, Prepping brothers 90 for paint and they'd been riveted on.
Looks like a good work space
Wish I had a workshop that big.

Interesting tyres behind the 90..... are they part of the rebuild....?Didn't get as much sorted as I would have hoped, mostly due to me being forced to go to a performing arts festival.
First things were to get my shed sorted:

Then I decided to take the wings off. This this was stalled slightly when I noticed that the garage that did the bodywork before used metal rivets to hold the arches on...
So the rest of the afternoon was spent getting the rivets off. Great.
Will go up after work today and hopefully get the wings off fully.

As for painting the chassis, I am not sure what to do, I don't like the look of a galv chassis, but don't have the time or the paint to do the whole thing. I might just do the crossmember and the side of the chassis that you can see.
you are lucky your paint work looks in good condition
Seems like I hadn't even nearly allowed enough money for all of the fluids, is looking to be about £150 worth....can anyone recommend a supplier for the various oils and fluids?
Haven't updated this for a while, been buying a lot of stuff and triple checking I have undone all of the bolts holding the body on.
I found 2 I had missed right in the centre, under the floor. I can't damn well get to them, so I am going to have to take the floor out.
I now have a shiny new Gwyn Lewis wading kit, cam belt and clutch kits, seals for the swivels, a decent set of Bahco sockets, a hi-lift jack, assorted gaskets and seals, hopefully all of the mounts, and a shed load of various paints.
Running total is £2772.54.

You mean the brackets that sit on top of the chassis with 2 bolts? If so, Don't touch the bolts on the top and take the one out of the front that bolts through the tub and seatbelt stalk anchor.
As for lifting the body off we constructed a timber frame to support the body when we changed the chassis, it would have been a lot better with scaffold poles but had to work with what we had. Not sure it is the safest way to go about it!
