Had a few hours on the car again today, so I went and bought an impact driver to try and get the back doors off. It took me about 40 minutes to get two screws out. Once that was done, I crawled underneath and sprayed all the body mount bolts with WD40. I took the bumper off then, which was a pain as it was up against the wall. I ended up having to take the overrider off to remove it.

Once that was done, I pulled the bootlid off while it was hung on the crane. That gave me enough room to get in the boot and undo the body mounts. I undid all the other mounts and finally had the body free. Now what?. I need to work out how I’m going to lift it. I put the other disc on the spindle and packed the bearings with grease. Now that both were done, I could put the old wheels on. Seems stupid, but I got such a buzz seeing the front with wheels on.

It was getting late, so I started to tidy up a bit and decided to put the front back on its wheels. It’s been off them for best part of a year. I put the crane under to help level it, then jacked it up one side at a time and pulled the jack stands out. Then slowly lowered it down. It looks really, really low now. It should be about 3″ lower than stock. Now I’m really fired up!
