Good luck with the sunshine 
Stripping the car isn't too bad a job. Remember to picture pretty much eveything, connectors hoses and all the components to the engine.
Also masking tape and a pen won't do, they'll fade by the end of the week. Use duck tape and permanent marker for labelling... Even better would be a label machine.

Excellent!
I will be watching this thread as I will be following in your footsteps soon enough.
That's good advice from Kai. |

I used one of those dymo handheld manual label makers. You know the ones you dial the letter up then squeeze the handle. The electric label makers are really expensive, at least over here. |

Good luck, I did that 2/3 months back. I take it'll be your first! Bigger job than I thought it was going to be. Especially loon/dash. Top-tip.....Do what I didn't,  , remove the front-wings to help getting loom out.
Not sure mixing Beers & Grinders is a good idea though!

cut as much metal away as you can to gain access to everything make the job easier but watch for wiring and pipes hiding behind panels
