The splash shields (rubber) on the lower inner front wing and the chassis, fuel filler tube joiner (rubber) possibly, check for wires or owt else that may stretch and loosen all three steering shaft couplers, do one side at a time after loosening all the mounting bolts, make sure they are all able to undo before starting, WD40 the lot a week or so before hand, take it steady wnd watch your fingers
Oh and watch the hi-lo shift on the tunnel metal, you may or may not have to shave some off if the shift lever rubs,Too young to die and too old to give a toss

well i did the lift,fuel filler needs extending,modified clutch pipe bracket(just needed twisting round a little),dropped radiator down and redrilled panel to secure,gota make up front bumper brackets as bumper secured to chassis not body(3inch gap between bumper and headlights),worse thing is got to straighten gearlever as it fouls on surround but no problem,i then got to put my new(second hand) wheels/tyres on

Regarding the gear lever you can just grind some metal away so the lever is clear when you change shift positions but you need to remove the front part of the center console to do it, raising the bumber is no prob, just the hard work involved removeing the bumper and refitting etc,
stick some pics up of what it looks like nowToo young to die and too old to give a toss
