hahaha, dont worry dude, you live in nelson, so you're safe
Besides, cant you tell by my avatar that I'm purely a "voyer/stalker" type, so you only have to worry if your curtains are open....

what are you using to lift the body off highlifts or do you have a frame or forklift?
Just curious. I was scared of looking at your last photo untill you mentioned the hills

I'm gonna use my neighbours portable a-frame and block & tackle...
we lifted a HT holden onto his trailer with it, so it should be up to the job

Heres a couple of pics from the one I did.
Used the chain on the front, and a 3-tonne (yeah right!) hand winch on the back end, then a piece of pipe through under the back to help balance it.

sweet, I was thinking roughly along the lines of a couple of 2.2T strops more or less in the wheel arch area (front and rear), then just hook up and lift...... surf body wouldnt weigh bugger all, would it? We did the HT like that, no problems... (and that was a whole car, engine and all!!)
I rekon just wing it, what could possibly go wrong.......??
