Kenyon's MeV Exocet thread

[p5curly]

We lifted the body off with one of those too with the engine still attached to the subframe

Did you loosen the rear axle nuts yet while you still have body weight. E brake cables, ground strap by ext header to body,
speedo cable and clamps, fuel lines, front sway to body mount, shock top hat nuts all undone..
Make sure you have room to pull body away from skate or move skate out from under body.. Have you cut and installed the 4 8" 2x4s or pipe between the upper control arm inner mount and the lower shock mount so skate subs won't hit the ground and you can move/roll it..

Nope I'm still stripping the loom as we speak. I'm a slow worker but hopefully it will pay dividends later on.

Thanks for all the heads up. I've got a big drive so shouldn't be a problem lifting the body and rolling the skate out.

Thanks though it's much appreciated and feel free to chuck random heads up on to my thread any time you want rather be told something 4 times and it be right than not at all !!

So a little more progress and a feeling of victory!!!
The wiring harness from engine and cab is out.

Incase anyone hasn't done this yet and have read other threads and think this happens in minutes, that's not the case !!!!!! Here is how much wiring their is


Also drained break and clutch fluid ready to remove the lines

Only fluid in the car now is the petrol, I'm getting around to this slowly !!

Can't wait to get the body off and see what's left of the skate

You want to keep bonnet catch use them on kit

[kenyon]

The aero ones are cheap crappy ones they have no support underneath, I'll just buy another set. Thanks though

[p5curly]

We have those on our bonnet they work well

[kenyon]

I mean the ones on the car at the moment. They are from China and brittle as china ironically, I'll get a new set and maybe pay more than £10 for them lol

[kenyon]

Incase anyone is wondering what is going on with the car, I've had a busy few months on other things, but we are nearly ready for separation, all bolts undone and then re done. So over the next few weeks all should be separated.
