Winter '22 Bodacious contains very good article by Barry Pound in Cornwall who has taken the body off his 403, having found what sounds like quite a lot of rust in the steel frame. He may have had no choice. I'm working very slowly on an old 401 (flared sills) and hoping I don't have to take the skin off, but in a goose's golden egg way there is always the temptation to want to inspect the steel which is folded away in the innocent-looking aluminium. There are certainly plenty of pitfalls in removal, and Barry, at his time of writing, was yet to undertake the very tricky re-attachment.
