Might be worth considering another set of brackets/pick up points so you can assemble the suspension with it still on the frameFinished the chassis dollie, welding in some strengthening gussets to the rear assembly.
All bolted up and ready to go.
The front end assembly.

Started prepping the replacement boot floor panel.
Floor is solid, floor stiffeners less so. Glad no one tried to tow this car by the rear towing eye, there wasn't much holding it on - that's a common weak point in my experience.
I'll get the sides and back off tomorrow.
After years of being really unimpressed with spot weld drill bits and having tried a load of different ones, I took a recommendation off a fellow member on here and bought some Dormer ones. Sweet baby Jesus and the orphans! What a difference. Bit of cutting paste and it's going through them like a hot knife.
