Just got doner. What bits other than engine/gearbox/suspension, do i need to strip to start and what can i leave on car till later. I plan to put car on blocks (after removing engine/gearbox) out the back of the workshop while it will role. but have a ramp in the workshop, so anything underneath will be easer removed befour then.

just finished strip, after 28 june collection

from my donor i've taken prety much everythin just to be safe and the task was surprisingly quick n simple. left with two boxes of bits + big oily lump

the rear sub came out complete n with wheels n skate board is fully manouverable

 

i'd been advised the loom i v imp (label as you go with white e tape n perm marker) esp engine section

 

all the bits you dont think of are needed too like door rubbers, grommets n fasteners etc

 

all thets on my drive is the shell with doors intact n not touched

 

cut the front x members away to make e + g removal a doddle

 

keep the wheels etc to scrub on the car when tracking etc setting later and also i'd been advised that for sva original wheels/ tyres calibrate better

 

theres a good start article on build tipz on main site

 

http://www.rhocar.org/buildtipz/037.shtml

 

i spent some time goin through the haynes and looking for useful components like brake line t junction and decelleration valve

 

some people have kept the wheel liners too but mine were brittle

 

hope this is some help? r u building soon?

 

have fun
