« on: September 18, 2006, 21:15:39 »
Well having a look around the disco tonight ready for the MOT and well


It needs a lot of work so I am going the whole hog the plan is to sorn it and do the work

Repairing the Rust  :shock:

I have to replace the front axle  :shock:

so whilst the axle is off I may as well do a 40mm body lift and a 2" suspension lift

I am happy doing the suspension but !!!!!! the body lift it looks faily easy

Is it??????

Darren

There are other posts about this, but it is quite straight forward.

I found it easier to do all 10 points at the same time, instead of doing one side at a time (easier to get bolts in due to body being square). If you do a side at a time, more ag.

Don't forget that you need to carryout some mods to parts fitted to body and connected to engine, etc. i.e. radiator, fuel filler pipe, brake hose mountings, steering pump res, steering shaft (maybe).

Chris,

Just thinking aloud
Can I lift the tank the same as body (I have to remove it to do the boot floor) Ie put spacers on the strap bolts?????

I have been told 40mm is all you can go without extending the steering shaft

Darren, you could, but why would you want to. There should be enough spare pipe just to move it up. Lot of messing taking it out and packing it.
