I use the phrase 'ground up' restoration, i.e, everything 'from the ground up'
has been restored.

I think unibody cars are either "frame UP" (if you have to use "frame" in
the description) or "bare metal" (my choice) to denote no holds
barred...has to be body on frame for a "frame off" as far as I'm concerned
;-)

recall them at the moment.
I think to some people "Frame Off" means that everything attached to the
FRAME (yea, I know, actually a "unibody" in the case of a Tiger) is OFF
the
car. Given that most restored cars were older (and had separate frames)
the
phrase became common. As unibody type cars became restorable the term
carried over, - though essentially inaccurate.
