update , Separation complete

Posted in Uncategorized on October 14, 2009 by macar999

 Hi there , last week i finally got the chassis separated from the body . it took some struggling especially since some previous owner had a fun time with the rivetgun and put random rivets all around the chassis to secure it against the body. but nothing a good old crowbar could´nt handle :)

HPIM1289HPIM1290HPIM1291

it came off rather smoothly after that . without visible tears or cracks in the body . HPIM1288

 all that is left to do now is to raise the body aproximatly 30cm then i can slide the whole undercarrige out from underneith the body . since i placed it on wheeldollys its easily movable . then i will put it on struts and start dissasembling the frameworks . stay tuned .

Posted in Uncategorized on September 8, 2009 by macar999

Hi again
Yesteday i took some time after work and went to the garage again . This time with one goal , sever the last link between the chassis and the frame.
I cut the electrical wireing harness , 16 cables separated and marked then wrapped up in plasticsheeting to protect against the weather . pics will be put up soonish . The car is almost ready now for separation. lots of planning to be done
kind regards

Manny months no update , whats going on ?

Yes you might think that,  i will explain .

Ive been working to separate the chassis from the body, so ive been laying on my back with a small circular cuttingmachine for a couple of months ,but now its almost ready to undergo some major changes.

just need to cut the wires that runs across the car and goes into the engine compartment . i wil get that done on saturday .

Ive ponderd the diffrent ways of separation , and ive come to the conclusion that i will put struts under the body then lower the chassis down and let the body stay on the struts as the weight of the chassis splits the car . Then i will lift the body with use of my friends and place it on a mobilized structure of some sort so i can put the body aside as i focus on renovating the frame and chassis parts .

Alot of work to be done,but very invigorating indeed .

kind regards
