I am stripping one to a shell at the moment, its a LOT of work.

Its mainly methodical. remove one piece at a time ect.

Good advice, i haven't gone as far as bare shell, i stopped at interior panels and carpets.
I used freezer bags which i tied to the part that i removed and contained the screws or bolts.
It isn't particulalrly hard as was said.

I have taken pics, all will be on my website in time. This car doesnt have to go back together again though.

I tagged everything up like jamesmark said to the last nut and bolt and put each bit in a relavent box. i.e. passenger door parts in one box, rear of interior in another etc.

So easy to figure out where everything goes that way.
