Day 3 18th April 2012
Not going well tonight. o/s wing finally removed, but bolts holding the n/s wing proving to be stubborn. I last removed this 6 yrs ago but it seems that a combination of rust and underseal have made the nuts and bults more difficult than expected. lesson learned- keep underseal off the threads !
o/s wing removed
Battery removed
Removing headlight cables from grille

It’s fair to say that WD40 and a wire brush made all the difference in getting the wing unbolted. Started stripping some of the hoses and cables of the engine ready for removal. Seats and floor removed, next job remove the seat box, sills and bulkhead.
