Interesting thinking exercise (especially after a glass of red) I have not yet done it but I have just thought about what there is to do. This would be a first stab, I would think Drew and Neil (who have planned and done it recently would be able to help)

Join SOC as your trial here won't be long enough to get enough advice

Wiring loom, brake lines, fuel lines, heater box, front suspension and steering rack etc, engine and box and auxiliaries, fuel tank, sender, pump etc, exhaust up to rear sub (just like that), rear subframe and diff etc, stop to buy more fasteners, wheels and then take it off the spit, instruments and dash (swear a lot here), rest of exhaust, boot lid, shiney bits at the back, lights at the back, t bar, hood, interior, windscreen and doors with windows already fitted, shiney bits at the front (avoiding dropping the lights onto your new paint), fluids, tighten hoses that drip, prime oil pump with vaseline, ignition coil, dizzy, inertia switch etc, go back and do the things you have realised you have missed, hook up battery, find the bad earths when it won't start, recharge flat battery, start, bonnet. Simples

But what is he supposed to do next weekend when all that is done?

Not everyone works as quickly as you Adrian.

That reminds me, I missed brake servo and bleed in the list above.

By the way (off topic a second) You should pop over next Sunday and see my car with no OS sill. Looking through the endoscope earlier was interesting....some frilly metal in there - could be messy when the angle grinder gets revved up.

For me it was the wiring looms first, heater box second and then the windscreen wiper rack, oh! and after that just the few bits and bobs that remain!

Good luck and remember to count to ten - again and again.........

I was looking forward to seeing the entire squadron of flying pigs as I got my brake servo back next weekend at Tatton Park - but have to work in Barcelona instead!
So thanks for the invite - but I'll have to give your tangle grinder display a miss. Shame - it would have been interesting.............

[Rubce]

Heater unit in first followed by the dash surround and then the wiring harness. Enjoy fitting clean bits.

Duncan Skye, one of the forum members, took the trouble to compile his guide for reassembly, but to access that your trial user status would need to be converted to SOC member.
