Before work could commence building the new car, the old one had to be stripped of all its parts and fixtures to see what could be reused and what needed to be sold/scrapped. This involved removing the truck cab, bonnet, wings, seatbox, floor plates, and radiator panel.

Most of the major panels are not much better than scrap, with the arches cut with an angle grinder, and a decent amount of rust including the lower half of the radiator panel. The truck cab, doors, bonnet, wheels and steering box seem sellable, while the seatbox, heater and bulkhead brackets can probably be used in the new car.
