Thumbs up

Frist you have to undo the 6 screws that hold the body to the chassis after you get them out you will be able to take the body partialy off the chassis.

Next i took off the front light that were held on with 2 screws. The same for the rear lights. The rear light were hard to put back in becasue of the tight space.

The next step was to get the circuit borad and the buttons out of the way. I frist unscrewed the 4 screws that hold on the circiuit board. I then got a pice of tape to put the bottoms on so i know where they go.



Next i masked the windows, Door Handels, Roof Rails and rear tailights off.
