12 bolts (you've removed 2 already)
Brake lines in front inner wings and under boot floor.
Clutch pipe
Hand brake cable
And a couple of earth leads.
Quite a big job bit doable, even easier if you happen to have a friend with a HIAB that can lift the body off for you.

Its not "that bad"it will make you feel better about yours
You should have been there when I was dismantling mine, the burnt out wiring loom on top of all the rust was a challenge, luckily I was self loathing and felt I needed punished for my sins
6yrs on and several thousands of £££ in I can't stand the idea of not having a hobby truck to tinker with
Problem is space! I actually do have a car sized space next to my car but the beds still raised shingled so if I could manoevre the chassis I could put on there. Think it's a bit much though!
You'e nailed it on the head. It is a hobby for me. The purpose of it was to learn new skills in something i enjoy and create something. Doing house stuff is ok but it doesn't have an engine so doesn't really keep me entertained lolIts not "that bad"

Now you just need to but two pieces together and practice without blowing through
Getting the same result butt welding however the gaps obviously so minimal as I'm using straight edgesNow you just need to but two pieces together and practice without blowing through

If you get the right joggler tool it has a hole punch for spot welds
I got far more done today. I try to only be grinder noisy at weekends and just use drill and brushes weekday evenings. Flappy wheel ripped through remaining bits. Can't get at rear until cross member comes out but got nearly all of top and inerrs done back to tubular member. I think I may stick her on stands tomorrow and start the sides and crevices plus underneath. I need to make up a new cradle bracket. You think 3mm will be thick enough? I'l measure it' thickness then will cad up a replacement!
