Any ideas, or tips before I start dismantling this car?
Do the exact opposite of what I did....
1. Take pictures of everything...and I mean everything. Even from multiple angles.
2. Be organised. Get some plastic storage bags or cheap bolt bins and lable all the hardware. (I found that old baby food jars work great for organising nuts/bolts)
3. Take the car appart in subassemblies. Leave those assemblies together as a unit until your ready to restore that particular assembly. Keep the LCA's, sway bar, idler arm, steering box exc... attached to the K-member. That way the fasteners don't get lost and you will know how everything goes back together. Same goes with the rear end. Keep it together...I'd even keep it attached to the springs as an assembly unil you'r ready to restore it. Same goes for the dash, heater box exc...
If I had done those things in the beginning, my life would be so much easier now. When you take a car appart you never think that it will be dissassembled for over 10 years but it happens.
