G'day All, Good to see another restoration underway, strip it right down to basic components so you can really see what's needed.
IMHO this is the only way to do it, starting the rebuild with chassis looking like new adding something to it everyday and if you do something everyday it soon adds up, anyway mate good luck with it and tell that young fella he isn't watching the right movies, i.e the Odd Angry Shot has Land Rovers and Inter's in it LOL,, cheers mate Dennis
PS dont forget to tie/secure a good length of mig wire to the cables in the chassis, it makes the job so much easier when replacing the wires.. but you probably already knew that little trick anyway..
