Battery box.

The screw to the right of the battery is one of six that must be removed to lift out the battery box.

Front compartment

The relays to the right need to be unscrewed as they are attached to the chassis; the ones to the left are attached to the body and can be left in situ when the body is removed.

Front compartment

Master cylinders and front hatch bracket

Battery box removed.

Chassis Attachment

One of the four main body to chassis attachment bolts.

Front End

Radiator with grille removed. The rad and associated hoses are all attached to the body and can be left in place as the body is removed.

Inside the o/s 3/4 panel.

The big pipe is the fuel feeder, the front end of which leads to the flexible pipe to the tank. The latter must be removed to pull the body off and/or the tank out. The metal pipe can stay with the body but is likely to be rusty and in need of treatment. The diagonal is the brace from the subframe to the roll bar and must be disconnected at its rear end to remove the body, or its right hand end to remove the roll bar (same in n/s panel). The corrugated panel is the rear of the oil cooler which stays with the body when it comes off.

Dash

Centre instrument panel. This is retained by four screws in its corners, and is removed with all its switches as one unit after pulling off the heater lever knobs and disconnecting (and marking!) the wires at the rear

Front end of the n/s sill after removal of the carpet. Two holes (usually filled with plastic padding) that conceal the door stay bolts. The inner one must be removed to pull the body.

Front compartment

The red wire is the main battery feed to the starter motor. This runs to the engine bay and is left in place when the body is pulled (although disconnected at the other end from the starter motor).
