nice one

beware of the skinned knuckles during the strip down

depending on what you intend to do with the shell after stripping it......keep everything you can ( space permitting ), even stuff you think you don,t need can some times come in handy further down the build process....
ps.... you don,t need to save the glass

cheers

I believe the technical term for this is " Spanner Rash "

Well done on finding a donor .

Tell the wife that you like it so much & are thinging of keeping it as a daily driver.

She'll be over the moon to see it get stripped

remember to offer spares not needed to the sierra boys, i could do with some hedlamp wipers if they are good.

if it has rear electric windows then the door looms sell easily.

with a bit of work you may make back most of the purchase on bits u dont need. Just don't ask the earth.

TT
