Ian,
I saved this message in case I ever get around to a body off
resto..This obviosly is not a complete list of bolts, but I hope it helps.

It's time to take the plunge and take the body off to do some
frame repair on my '72 TR6. I believe that all the bolts are out. Before
I go and start using a jack, and messing up the entire body, I hope that
someone can coroborate that the following are all the bolts that need
to be removed. (Keeping with the thoughtful scope of the currrent thread, I
am thanking
in advance and will also respond individually with gratitude).
After removing center console:
1) 7 sill bolts (each side)
2) 2 rear fender bracket bolts (each side)
3) 2 rear quarter panel bracket bolts to frame (each side)
4) 1 "rear seat" bolt (each side)
5) 1 bolt securing seat belt to frame (each side)
6) 1 bolt located by side of trunk (this is a real headache, using
appropriate internet ettiquette, to access. It took about 2 hours
to remove this one. The bolt is accessed through slots in the frame
and the nut is sandwiched in a strenghening bar.) (each side)
7) 1 bolt near front wheel well (each side)
8) 1 bolt securing spare tire hook to frame. (center only)
Is this the entire list? If so, any ideas why the body doesn't just
"lift off"?
I didn't forget about all the odds 'n' ends in the engine compartment.
Thanks,
Jeff N.
