I would go with the panels next.
The mantra here would be...
Dry build
Dry build
Dry build.
Not wishing to insult however if you dont know this phrase ,its put ALL the panels on ,get your gaps and fitment right before getting any paintwork done.
Do not assume that the panels will fit nicely no matter how good a condition they may be in.
Enjoy.

It won't tell you to fit a o-ring to your layshaft before you build your gearbox. You will realise just after you've finished the whole bloody thing!

I would advise some form of rust protection,bare metal can start to oxidize very quickly even from the touch of bare hands/sweaty palms![]()
If the panels are going to need some work getting straight then go with a light coat of primer although its not water proof as such is way better than bare metal,then where repairs are needed it can be wiped off easily with thinners or sanded down.

You will need a spring compressor to reassemble for sure.
On the old forum a fellow memeber made his own and posted the diagram on here,I believe it was reposted when the system was up and running again.
I bought one of the spring compressors and had to modifiy it to work to my satisfaction,had I have seen the one I am talking of posted I would have made one.
