    Ok latest bit of work. Learning so much as I remove, bag and tag all these bits. When it comes to re assembly I know it will be a huge task no matter how well I have prepared myself. But that's the point isn't it.

    Took me several hours to work out exactly how to tackle the pull down of the front end. Although I learnt how not to do it.. if I did it again with what I know now I reckon I would still have problems haha.

    Now I just need to tear down the diff and rear end parts and I'll be ready to get some blasting, welding and painting done.

    Thats what genuine GMH parts books are for. I would have been lost (almost) without my HJ parts book to see how stuff went back together. The big stuff is easy but when you get into the tiny bits a parts book can tell you a whole bunch of stuff you thought you knew...but didn't...or forgot. Its been 18 months since I pulled the van apart and my attention span aint that long.:lol::lol:

    One of the better tools in a strip down and resto is a digital camera.

    just a tip if you are going to remove the diff first before the springs..unbolt the bump stops..it gives you plenty of room for pulling it thru...

    I used a camera when I did my Chev and it proved invaluable, but when I got the van it had nothing under the bonett and only a steering column on the inside. No bolts, clips, wiring, brackets....nothing.
