Taking off the door

one of the beautiful things about land rovers is the fact that if you have 10,12 and 13 spanner you can basically take the whole car apart. For us to turn into a bikini top car, we first had to take the door off. we removed the rear wheel because of its sheer weight. Disconnecting the wiring leading into the door was easy, with the collection of wires connected to the door all being able to be disconnected by a connector located behind the back-right speaker panel. we didn't really think of that though, and put ourselves through the effort of removing the entire door panel  unscrewing the hand grip and disconnecting all the wires before realising that the wires wouldn't fit through the hole they would need to, so we re-screwed and reconnected everything and only then discovered the door panel.

Undoing he nuts and bolts was slightly trickier with it being a two man job. Eventually though we were able to get it off and made sure we kept all the nuts bolts and washers for when we try sell it.
