Finally back on the job. Took out weather strips and retaining clips from doors Removed divider channel for glass followed by glass which seems to be in good shape. Next took out quarter windows. After cleaning they looked really good. Glass had a sort of lime scale around the edges which was quite hard to remove. Next took out the regulators, cleaned them up , ready for putting back in later. Found quite a bit a bit of rust in the bottom of the doors and some of the drain hole were blocked up. Not sure how to deal with this. Will attempt to start a Project Discussion page as have a few question that someone might be able to help me with. Cheers

Firstly, Thanks for the helpfull advice given in the Project Discussion section. Went to Safr R Brakes who were very helpfull and put me on the right track. Have had brake shoes relined and collected new wheel cylinders. Have fitted these now and bleed the system. Everything seems all good. Next step is to start working on getting the engine and gearbox out. Started by removing drive shaft. While unbolting rear flange I notice a small amount of oil come out. Not sure if there is a seal that needs replaceing. will look into this. Have left a couple of question  about motor removal in Project Discussion

Now to start on removing everything connected to the engine before removal. Had to cut of exhaust off manifold as whole system was just welded together. Drain coolant from radiator and block, then remove radiator and fan. Unplug wires to water temp and oil pressure sensors. Disconnect starter motor cable. Next remove accelorator cable assembly and remove carb. Tag on carb reads (Weber 771F AA A 6J 2 ) will look up to see if this is what I need for motor I'm putting back in car. Remove heater and vacuum hoses. Disconnect speedo and clutch cables. Remove both intake and exhaust manifolds. Out with distributor. Unbolt gearbox support cross member which looks a bit the worst for ware. Almost forgot to take outgear lever.

Next out with the motor slowly slowly. Please I got  the tilting attactment for crane as you have to apply a lot of tilt to clear front of car. Looks like we have got a 1300 motor. Hadn't checked numbers before I took out motor and was under the impression it was a 1600.

Slowly catching up with where I'm at now. Should have posted more regularly.

Next to come out was the speedo cable and clutch cable. not to hard once you figured out how they are attached  Brake booster was next. Everything looks to be in reasonable condition. Booster will need a good clean and paint. Now to remove the front  loom. Have labeled all the ones I know but there seems to be a lot of wires with no home. Some may be for the spotlights. I'm sure it will fall into place if I lay it out on a table and clean it up.

While doing this I've got a couple of queries that I will put on my Project Discussion page. Any help will be appreciated

Cheers

Now onto the interior, under the dash. Took off all plastic covers and started unpluging everything and labeling as I go. One or two loose wires without a home but i'm sure I will be able to sort out later. Finally got loom out except wires running to interior light. Taped a pull wire to the end but unable to pull through so must be clipped on under head linning which is still in place.  Finnally just cut them off and will put a connector on when it all goes back together. Next took off the dash pad which has a few cracks in it. If anyone can suggest the best way of repairing this could they leave a reply in the Project Discussion secton listed below. Also looking for someone to check over my manual gearbox in Christchurch. Cheers

Have got a bit done since last post. Removed heater unit and dash vents. Removed pedal box which then allowed me to take out the insulation up against fire wall. This is not in very good condition so not sure what I can use to replace it. Any ideas, let me know in my Project Discussion. Next removed indicator storks an ignition-steering lock. Decided to leave window wiper assembly in place.

Ready for he panel shop. Took photos of all black paint areas for reference when getting it painted. Also photo's of all rust-dent areas that require work. Its going to take a while I think. Onto the triler and off to Christchurch. Had to unload onto footpath and then push across four lanes of trafic but finally there.
