FAO Patrick (or any other E30 builder): Donor Disection

[GreatOldOne]

Patrick,

When you stripped your E30, did you do it in any particular order, or did you just unbolt stuff with wild abandon?

I ask as I'm (hopefully) going to be getting my donor in the next couple of weeks, and would benifit from the sage advice of someone a lot further down the road than I.

Also, is the list of bits required from the donor as mentioned on the Marlin site exhaustive? Does the build manual mention anything above what's on the site? I don't want to go and throw something that I need away, but don't feel as if I can completely gut the Beemer due to storage issues...

Thanks in advance,

Jason (GOO)
