I had a small gathering for reassembling a TR6. I had the frame positioned with all the suspension components for each corner positioned near its respective corner, steering rack, diff, engine/trans nearby. And I photo documented it.

With no fenders it is an easy three-man job setting it in place. Since you are taking it off for stripping I recommend taking off the fenders and doors while it is still on the frame. But you will need to reinforce the door openings to prevent the body from folding in the middle. I had a couple of pieces of angle iron welded across the door openings which remained in place until after I remounted the body and had the doors installed and the door gaps good.
