Just the right position now for the next task: rehab the rusted floor.

Another view of the car on the lift. I bought this rotisserie from Northern Tool. The design has two key features. Hydraulic rams at either end allow easy lifting and dropping by about 18 inches. This made it easy to attach the brackets with the car on jack stands, and then elevate it enough to clear the side while rotating to sideways. The second feature allows for tuning the position of the car relative to the pivots, thus getting the center of gravity close to the rotation axis.

It appears you achieved your goal while your son was in town. At this point the work becomes fun!

Did you uncover any surprises when you removed the suspension?

None obvious. We did drop the front as a complete assembly, and I still have to take it apart.

Sweet Rotisserie. I've always like the type like this with the hydraulic ram.

I measured my garage and determined that I'll have to remove the garage door opener and the upper guide tracks if I hope to use a rotisserie. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Looking like you've got this beat and are will on your way to easy street to work on the undersides.

Thanks, Doug--back at you guys, too.

Shirlee wanted to get outside and enjoy another snowy day, so we hiked the ridge behind our house--about 1000 ft up.

And after that I got about an hour of garage time. Enough to separate the struts and steering rack from the front suspension, and pull the torsion bars.

Torsion bars look like blue strip coding.

I'm sure you know this but don't mix up right and left torsion bars when re-installing. There should be a R & L stamped on the end.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the reminder. I did see the L and R stamps.

And on the the floor, starting with some rough cuts between all the welded seams. Next step is drilling out LOTS of spot welds.

And that's just the part I could not vacuum out through the holes in the top of the tunnel.

Now for the surgical removal of the rest of the rear floor, starting on the left side. BTW access on the rotisserie, and also raising the lowering the car height, is glorious.

First drill out the welds and remove the jacking donut.

Then drill out the welds and remove the triangular gusset.

Then a happy hour or so of drilling out spot welds along the sill, tunnel, and firewalls.
