Rolling a Fulvia Coupe on its side without removing windshields

Unread post by MAIS »

Does anyone have experience in rolling a Fulvia Coupe on its side (on top of tyres) to restore the bottom, WITHOUT removing the windshields/windows?..

I just did it. I was wondering about the wind shields too but since I have plenty I risked it. Works well. Note that the interior was removed as well as subframe and rear axle.

You need two tyres on top of each other to support the roof.

No guarantee it works in your case.

Here is a picture although you can't see the wind shields are still in. It is difficult to go inside the car.

great, many thanks! If I understood you clear, you'll need in total 6 tires: 2 (as in the picture) to support the body and 2+2 (on top of eachother) to support the roof. Right?

4 tyres in total. Under the edge of the roof is just a single pile of two tyres.
