Splitting DII body from chassis

Quite surprised by that, the do surface rust, but the D2 normally isnt too bad on the rust front.

Where abouts is the main rust?

Lifting the body on a D2 is likely to be bloody hard work, so be honest

The inside sections are generally good, but the outsides have thick rust flaking off, particularly at the rear. There are a couple of holes towards the back - in line with the rear wheels. There is a small bracket on the rear nearside which has just about rusted away.

I am concerned that rust is building up between the fuel tank and chassis and other inaccessible places.

I managed to remove the side steps - it took me two days. They are badly corroded and one of the fixing studs snapped rather than be persuaded to unscrew. I have slackened off and retightened each of the body to chassis bolts in anticipation of removing the body at some stage.

I'm looking for any advice members may be able to offer.

Thanks Davy M.
