S2 body removal

[Grumblebuns]

After struggling for weeks trying to get the last bolt removed holding the body to frame, body is separate from the frame. I wasted weeks trying to remove the parking brake bellcrank bolt from the frame. In desperation, resorted to an impact wrench. Even then it took around a minute of operation for the bolt to finally come loose. Anyone contemplating a body removal, it can be done by one person.

 Well done! And all by your self by the sound of it.  That chassis looks in quite good nick from the picture. Presume you are going to do a full restoration on it.

The S2 is just a frame and a body shell. The frame surprisingly is in very good shape considering the years spent exposed in a tropical climate.
No engine/tranny, interior or suspension/brakes, the car is essentially a blank slate perfect for what I have planned for it. Ultimate goal is Toyota 4AGE power mated to an NG3 gearbox. I've already collected most of the bits over the years. I started a new album 0934R to document in photos of it's progress; a builders blog in pictures.
