Hey Blokes\Fellas\Shielas
Just wondering if anyone can help me,
We want to strip the body of everything so to put it onto a rotessirie thingary.
So dont want any wheels or diffs or anything to that effect.
Is this easy to do, what is involved?
Can anyone help and shed a bit of light on my situation?
Also
How do you make one of these engine stand rotissiries?
Cheers
Rowan

Pulling them to bits is a piece of piss - putting them back together is the trick !!

Yeah mate, support the car at the front of the sills so the weight is off the front suspension , keep undoing things until it comes apart - its not rocket surgery !!

or brain science
Seriously though, the general order would be
- Hanging panels, bonnet, doors, boot, front guards.
- Engine out
- drop front end off
- sub frame off
Unlike a yank tank the Holdens have an intergrated chassis, ie the chassis is all welded from the firewall back.
