Hey nice work! I didn't have a prob with bending chassis, mine sat up-side-down for a couple of months, and walked over/worked on! I know what u mean lifting it that high was a very nervous time... While u got it up there u should be fitting IRS! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nah just go buy yourself a heatgun and a scraper, just heat a area up then scrap away, u gotta be careful though to not put too much heat into the floor panels as they can warp.. so u get the majority off with the scraper then hit it with a grinder with a wire wheel attached... Its a prick of a job

I will second that OSK, absolute prick of a job, and a dirty one too. I stripped my VK back and coated it in Tetrosyl. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

theres is a chemical you can use.. have a look at the old street machine mags over the past 12 or so months. i cant find my copy. theres an oven cleaner you can use to strip anything and everything. if someone finds it post of the brand on here!!! if i find i will post it.
