Removing the bonnect catch
Where the catch lived.
It was held in with rivets. I'm not sure if this is normal due to nuts and bolts needing more clearance. The rivets where drilled out.

Removing the stickers
Unfortunately I was unable to remove the 'Marinablau' sticker as it just came away in strips. The less interesting stickers where fine.
Will she look like this with a new paint job?

Front brakes cleaning
Time to take the front brakes apart.
Fortunately the brake cylinders on the front where in good condition and could be used again. I removed them for cleaning.
Once I'd given everything a quick clean, ensured the adjusters where working and the brake pads had reasonable life in them, I put them back together.
The brake drum was kurusted and will be painted later. You can just see the outer bearing above being pushed into place. The inner bearing remained on the drum.
The outer bearing retaining washer pushed in keeping itself in the locating chanel that can just be seen above.
Finally the cover which has a hole in it for the speedo cable.

The first shots of the body on the floor
Body on the floor.
A spot of rust inside.
The heater channels may need replacing.
The body can now be pushed into the garage to keep it out of the elements whilst I arrange the shot blasting.
