A lot of what you do depends on what you want. Originality a big concern? Speed? Etc.?

My one suggestion would be if you start taking it apart, go to The Container Store or someplace like that and get a bunch of zip-lock bags of various sizes. Set up a coding system and everytime you take bolts or nuts or screws or small parts off the car, put them in the bags, label the bags with a permanent marker, and log them in on your master sheets. That way when you go to put her back together you won't be wondering which fastener goes where.

Also, before you take a part off, take a bunch of digital pictures of the area where it goes so you'll remember how it is supposed to fit together. You'd be surprised at how much detail you forget.

Lastly, on some areas, like under the dash, for example, write down the order in which you take things apart. That way you'll know the best order in which to start putting them back together.

It's easy to tear one down, but getting it back together right is a tall order if you're not organized about it. We did one with coffee cans full of nuts and bolts, and we are doing another in a much more organized fashion. It makes a lot of difference, for sure.

Good luck with your project.
