LandyManLuke Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Oooooh!!! Just make sure you get all the bolts etc then. - body mounts - seat belt tie bolts - fuel filler, breather etc - handbrake - auto changer if fitted - gear sticks - Brake/clutch - throttle cable - bonnet release - steering shaft - heater pipes - loom probably missed a few things. If you're not bothered about the body and don't have loads of lifting kit etc, i'd cut it up and take it off in three or so sections.
