Type 3 removing body
Was wondering how much work is removing the body, then everything else for a complete rebuild, piece by by piece?

I have done this several times 5 to be exact
you have to remove all the guards doors and boot and bonnet and glass out
then get 6 mates to even attemp to lift the body off after you have removed all the engine fuel tank wiring seats etc etc undo all the chassis
bolts from floor
all this will take u a day or more work
the Type 3 bare shell weigh heaps u need 5 mates to help lift
