Dismantling has begun. It's only just started to dawn on me what a huge job restoring this little car represents...as everything I remove reminds me that every part will need to be individually refurbished.
The four poster hoist is an absolute godsend. With it set at about 600mm up, the lowest lockable setting, there's no need for lotus position, everything in driver's and passenger's footwell is an easy reach
Doors and windows off....
Interior gutted, ready to attack the dash.....
This was a fire waiting to happen..... and miraculously, the window worked a treat!
One thing has me stumped at the end of day 2.....the steering column. Have removed the pinch bolt, and undone all the mounts inside the cabin, but it simply will not budge, seems to be stuck on the spline at the end....any tips? According to workshop manual it should simply pull back, wheel, outer and inner column and all....
