Disco-Ron Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I'm stripping the 90 to build on to a new chassis. ... am i right in thinking that the best way is to start at the back and work forwards..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballcock Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 You can remove the body as a whole, then sort the running gear and drop it back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g90 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 toying with the idea of doing this myself, although im worried as to how much other rotten stuff im going to find along the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 I did that last time ballcock. When I did my van.... however this time it's a pick up with new bulkhead and seat box. .. so its coming off in bits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin. Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I did a body-off chassis change. It took two of us about a fortnight without rushing it and having never done it before. If you're going to this much effort it is worth considering replacing the chassis if it's completely shot. However, if you ever plan on exporting the vehicle, it is safer to have an original chassis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 I have bought a new genuine chassis from a main dealer. .. then spent over 250 hrs prepping it and strengthening to my needs with roll cage mounts etc.... all un needed brackets removed. ... and it's now been galvanised. .. hopefully the build will be smooth as I've done so much preparation. ...

pigster Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 personally when I rebuilt my one I started on the bulkhead and went forward got it all working and then stuck the back on.. the rear is easy as not much to it... but with a new chassis - I would prob remove all panel and then swap the drive train over first - or even get new axles (rebuilt or whatever) in prep to help move the chassis about. would love to do that again..

paulnb57 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Build a rolling chassis, re the bodywork, start from the tub forwards, the tub locates on the crossmember, everything else is slotted or can be spaced with washers for adjustment.......

What he said. Apart from on the later models where the body mounting tabs on the rear crossmember are adjustable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'm a few days from fitting the tub... I'm just praying I welded the hd cross member on in the right place. ..... should be. .. I made a jig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
