So first step in getting the body off the chassis.

Pulled the dash out, had one seized screw on the main dash mount, which i ended up leaving to soak in WD40

its the one in the middle of the picture. Not much left of the car now :)

All thats left is to remove the sills then pull the 20 bolts that hold the body to the chassis and then i'm read to start sending it away to be repaired and painted.

Did find one badder than i thought part

From the firewall side

From the interior

So the rust in the heater intake goes all the way through. Ah well...  more rust repairs.

I ran out of time and was held up with a couple of screws in the sills that just wont budge, i think i'm going to have to drill them out. not too bad. I've only found about 5 screws or bolts that just wont budge.

Had a play around with the firewall and a nylon stripper wheel and covered it all with rust convertor to seal it up

But basically the body is completely stripped now.

Heard from my mate the ship has apparently left Singapore with my door skins and suspension bits. Hopefully will be here by the 16th July
