Yeah it sounds very similar. I think as you say there isn't really enough strength to 'rotisserie' the car.culp wrote: ↑Mon Nov 09, 2020 6:25 pm I had something similar with my Traveller. I stripped it down completely, everything off the bodyshell and then you can tip the whole thing on it's side fairly easily. I didn't use a roller as they mount on the bumper brackets and mine were too far gone.
I did the floors first, then the sills. You can get floors with the inner sill fixed to them already, I tried that on one side and found it very difficult to fit. On the other side, I did the floor then the inner sill and it was much easier. Cutting away the floor can affect the front part of the rear spring hangers. Mine were knackered anyway so I had to cut them out. I cut away the vertical part of the repair panel at the back of the rear floor as the seatbox was (one of the few bits that was) ok.
Underneath I needed to do the same as you. The middle bit of the cross member with the big hole in it for the prop shaft was a fiend to get out! I wound up cutting away a perfectly sound bit of the floor because I couldn't get an angle grinder or a drill onto the spot welds. If the middle bit of the cross member is ok then go for the outer repair section but go very carefully as they affect how the torsion bars line up. The chassis legs went in fine and were relatively easy although should have made a neater job round were the torsion bar goes in as it made fitting the torsion bar difficult.
