Weekend spent removing the gearbox and drive shafts from the donor vehicle, lots of use of breaker bars and WD40 to ease the rusty bolts.
Unfortunately it turns out the chassis donor which is 1972, and the buggy chassis which is 1971, have different gearbox mounts.
The donor gearbox is also 1200 box not a 1300 which i first thought and even less ideal for top speed but will be used temporarily and will give good acceleration at least. A new mount will be needed to fit the gearbox to the earlier chassis.
A few more shiny stainless steel nuts and bolts purchased. The seat runners and steering coupling have been trial fitted together using them.
Not a very productive weekend but some work done at least.
