Milestone day - front end is fully stripped. Got the driver's a-arm, lever shock and steering rack removed today. Time to move on to the rear of the car.

Finally getting (re) started on the Bugeye

Thanks! My shop is an old barn, so we 'borrowed' about 3 feet of floor space up above. I can raise the lift to full height and walk under without bending down (I'm 5'-11"). Not completely done yet, I want to drywall the raised section to give it a more 'finished' look.

Being able to walk under the lift without banging one's head is a big plus. Our detached garage was built to store an RV on one side - 14' high ceiling. So I was able to buy a lift that I could walk under. I'm 6' 9", if I'm not slouching.
6'9" is mighty tall for a Bugeye!

Yup, knees firmly planted in the dash on the passenger side. Same problem with Austin-Healey 100 and BJ8 convertible. I sat in a BMW Isetta once; thankfully it had a sun roof.
Morning everyone!
It's been a few weeks, but the car is now fully stripped of all ancillaries. Easily the worst part was those darn rear leaf springs.
I have an appointment on Friday to get an estimate for paint/body work but I'll have to wait for a while before I can move ahead with that phase.
