Hi Guys, as some of you will be aware . I have got a 109 Station wagon, i need to do some chassis repair and a x member change. I really do not want to take the whold body off, because i do not have the space to store it. I also do not have the help (man power), parts and welding knowledge to get it done in a few days.

Basically is it possible to unbolt the body, and jack it up so it stood up clear of the chassis on breeze blocks ??????????? giving me enough access to get the chassis work done.

If so were the fook do i start unbolting ? I have had a little flick through the manuals, but nothing seems to be clear

Any chance of getting this thread merged with my other thread and also changing the title of it to "rebirth of Betty" instead of footwells.

Cheers

Unbolt it from the rear mounts and I seem to recall some behind the seat box. If you support it on 50 gallon oil drums just remember it will blow away in the first gale.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought it was going to be about something else entirely You know what they say a friend will help you move house, a good friend will help you move a body.

All unbolted and ready for the lift, Cheers for the help guys.

With everything else to do, not looking forward to sorting this little lot out after. Should be easy enough.
