Well, I am at a major decision point in the restoration of my 66 TR4A.
I have removed all of the body panels that unbolt (bonnet and boot lid,
doors, wings). I also have removed all of the interior, and the enigne
and tranny are soon to follow.
So now I am asking myself, should I pull the body off, or stop now and
begin reconstruction?
On the plus side for removing the body:
There will never be a better time
Chance to check out the frame and underside of the body
Just for the fun of it
On the minus side:
Probably a hell of a lot of work
So, does anyone have any horror stories or tips for this kind of thing?
Any other pluses or minuses? How should I lift the body, engine hoist,
several strong friends? Do I need to fabricate some supports across the
door openings since they have been removed?
