[Fot] Splitting a TR4 body in half when replacing sills and floors

[Mike Moore]

I did same to my street car and kept car together so I could keep everything
aligned easier. Fastened braces across top of door openings to keep proper
shape and then replaced one side at a time.

Thanks
Mike

I am working on a TR4 street car. It needs the front floor pans and inner
sills replaced.  In reading a restoration guide, it talked about splitting
the car in half (front and back half)  putting the new floors and sills
together on the refurbished frame, and then putting the two halves back
together on the new frame.

Here is the link.  See page 75/76

Any opinions on this versus cutting and replacing sections one at a time?

Thx
