I did this when I pulled apart the FB, then I wanted to get lots of parts plated (including all the nuts n bolts) so they all got tipped into a bucket together

what a waste of time

Boxes, zip lock bags (or a bag sealer - they are great) marker pens and most importantly a CAMERA - and notes, and more notes !!!

Oh yeah, and a shitload of $$$, lol !!!

i've found the mower is a great parts/ bolt finder

word of advice, don't try finding a flex plate with this method... damn near took dads foot off (and i'm still hearing about it 7 years later, don't know what he's bitching about, he's got another one

)
great to see your getting into it, just stop, stand back and take in what you've done and how your going to do the car or it will overwealm you very easily.
cheers, luke.

Whatever you do make sure you have a clear plan in place before you start repairs/re-assembly. Budgets blow out once you start re-doing things because you've changed track half way through..
