It's good to see that others are tackling the same sort of restoration work as I took on (again, not knowing quite waht I'd bought via e-bay).
Just goes to prove that they can be brought back from some pretty awful states.
It only took three of us to pick up the traveller and put it on its side with everything stripped out. Great turning jig though.
Keep up the good work.

The story so far...

Made the jig from 2x1 steel box and scaffold pole. It bolts to the engine mounts and the rear bumper bracket mounting points in the floor.
It is really handy being able to move it for different angles of attack but doing it this way the shell has less support than lying on it's side so am having to keep a close eye to avoid sagging/twisting.
