How much work is it to change the rear body x member on a 3 door RRC? How much body work has to be removed to do the work?

Thanks, I now need to decide if I have time to do it. I am quite capeable of doing the work its just the time. I might just sell it and go get a 110. If anyone wants a RRC with a 2.8 TD Disatsu engine it let me know quick!!! My V8 has a buyer so no range rovers any more.

"should" take you a good weekend, maybe less. Depends on what else you find behind the rear quarters.
