Stripping a car

[Vista]

There's nothing safety related to worry about during the strip down so if you can undo nuts and bolts then you can strip a car. Just make sure you photograph and catalogue everything.

 

However, putting it back together safely isn't so straightforward but with a bit of care and attention, asking lots of questions and reading up on each stage out of a manual isn't impossible for a novice. It would pay to have an expert on hand (or nearby) for things you aren't sure of though.

So, rightly or wrongly I think I'm going to have a crack at this. I may have found somewhere to do the work, my Mothers friend has a farm so as long as the area I can use is dry and rat free then space shouldn't be a problem.

 

A friend of a friend has restored two Mexico's and he's agreed to give me advice, he lives a mile up the road, I'm going round to look at his cars on Thursday and finally my step father is reasonably handy with a spanner, the only downside where he's concerned is he's so bloody slow.

 

Might as well have a crack

What about brake lines and brake unions ?

If they leak there not tight enough
