The strip down started with the removal of the body panels, in the easy order:
  1. Roof
  2. Driver, Passenger and Rear Doors
  3. Rear Upper Panels
  4. Front floor panels
  5. Seats and seat box
  6. Rear Tub
  7. Bonnet

Note the WD40 in the bottom of the picture (and hacksaw when the WD40 fails!)

Hacked all the existing wiring out, i'm making my own loom so i didn't need to be too careful about removing the existing harness. 

Next the wings were removed followed by the radiator panel and the bumper.

The coolant that was drained off was a nasty colour and smelt really foul, there was also a lot of rust in the water and plastered on the inside of the hoses.

Windscreen and vent panel removed.

Removed the Clutch and brake pedals, labelling up all the pipe work so I know where it all goes back on reassembly. Also pre-labelled all the diesel pipe work.

A view of the strip down so far from the rear.

The engine and gearbox where thick with grease and muck.

Removed the rod linking the steering relay to the steering box and then removed the bulkhead complete with steering assembly and bulkhead supports.
