>Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the body from a TR4A. I 
have all the fenders, doors trunk, hood, windshield, interior and gas tank 
off. The engine and trans are out. I want to work on the IRS and front 
suspension and paint the frame. My plan is to roll it off from the side 
because I have no good way of lifting it up in the air. I am only afraid
that 
I can bend the car because of the doors not there to keep the front and
back 
stable. The floor is in good condition and the rocker panels have no rust 
what so ever. Any Idea on how much it would weigh? 
Thanks in advance.

Mike, 

DO NOT attempt to remove the body without the doors.  You run a very good
chance of it folding up on you which will ruin your whole day.  Refit the
doors (or someone else's doors) first.
