Are you able to remove the body from the main support chassis? Or are they welded together?

I believe that there is a front and rear subframe, I have seen them apart on an FD, I am guessing its the same on an FC.

yer thought it was all on subframes rather than the old style of a car where the body would lift off the chassis.
