Awesome work mec, and the chassis looks a lot worse than I was expecting and definitely in need of doing, no doubt about that.

Mec, this is indeed totally epic!! Awesome getting all that done in 2 days. How long did it take to build the DeLorean Lifting System (TM)?

Dan - how did you lift your body up when you did yours on your drive? I just remember you replacing the chassis with bricks but not actually how you got the body off...

Awesome progress, you're in good hands with the talented Alex!

So what's the plan after the dipping and welding?
Galvanising so that it can get into all the boxed off areas?

Excellent work
I see the same rust issues in my future. Where are you sending the frame for stripping?

I took it off with bricks too. Jacked it up, put a brick in, jacked again, another brick in etc. Then when high enough I moved the bricks out to clear the wheels and put wooden beams across. Lots of messing around compared to Mec's lifting solution!
