3.2. SEPARATING CHASSIS AND BODYWORK

At this point, the body and chassis are ready to be separated. Undo all the bolts, which fasten the body to the chassis. Two of them can be found in the boot, two on top of the petrol tank bracket, four under the black plastic caps underneath the rear seat and the remainder on the bottom of the passenger compartment. Apply WD40 if necessary.

Use an angle grinder to grind off any stuck bolt.

If you are not going to use any of the saved parts that are still in good condition, the Burton Car Company may be interested in purchasing them from you. Drop them a line or e-mail to find out.

The easiest way to remove the body is by pressing hard against its side. In order to be successful, you need the assistance of another person. If the body is not moving, check for any attachments you may have missed. If the body is in very good condition, it may have a resale value and you are urged to be very careful in separating the body from the chassis. If you feel that the body is of no further use, allow yourself to use an angel grinder to make the job easier. Make sure you recycle all metal scraps.
