Less is more...

The past week I've been slowly dismantling the parts and pieces that were attached to the donor body.

I removed:
- All windows 
- Camping kit pieces
- Headliner
- Insulation above headliner
- All speakers
- Wiring harness up to the firewall.
- Exterior decals
- Rear fender flares and mudflaps
- All moulding and trim
- Gutter sealant

I exposed rust at:
- Both inner fender wells just front of where seat connection is.
- Right rear outer fender at top of arch and down to bottom.
- Both front window rails from top down along window.
- Inner rear door/arch bottoms.
- Rear right window frame (minor bubble)

As a note, the rust I did find is NOTHING compared to most Landcruisers driving around of this vintage.  Most of this body is in excellent shape and will serve as an excellent replacement for my Camo beast!  With a few patches the above spots will be dealt with and I'll be ready for some paint!

I found about four wasp nests behind the headliner...glad I took that down!
