i,ll be honest & admit i didn,t actually strip my donor, fellow forum member "Flyerncle" did it for me, long story
one tip that gets mentioned alot is to undo the rear hub nuts whilst the car is still on all 4 wheels on the ground, they are left & right handed threads by the way.
enjoy the strip down , i ended up more or less just mopping the floor when my donor was stripped.
cheers
andy
