BEFORE you remove the body, weld in light diagonal braces internally and in door and roof openings. It can help with later fit of body panels if you drill a 1mm hole through the panel layers before unbolting them, as a guide to replacement position.
Decide where you wish to start and disassemble that only, and leave the rest together until you are ready. Too many directions for your endeavors leads to lost parts, lost enthusiasm and cash exhaustion. Oh and join a club. cheers Russell
Definitely photograph everything you can. But also don't assume what is there now is correct. The original parts books are very handy for telling you what should be there but don't show how they go together.

I concur with Simon. Don't always believe the SPO's (Stupid Previous Owners) knew what they were doing! This car appears pretty unmolested, but I have uncovered some weird "engineering" on mine....Dexion type metal strip with an exhaust flexible strap and a "U" clamp to hold the steering column in place....
