Preparation

The first thing one has to do is to remove the bodywork from the chassis. This means you need somewhere to store it. There are plans drawn in the manual to make a body buck; Alan hybridized this with one on the Factory Five forums to add additional shelving, and made this beast which we lifted the bodywork on to:

This leaves the chassis, with the aluminium panels in place underneath.

Another view from the other end. Next, the panels all need to be removed. They are all just screwed on, so you can just whip them off. There are more panels in boxes; this isn't all of them...

All off! Here's the chassis completely bare. Now the fun begins...
