I am also getting to that point of removal. Someone warned me about
supporting the body if the doors are removed. Should I screw some support
bar from front to back of the door opening? Larry in Calgary.

I have removed the body from my car. There are 14 bolts, 7 for each side.
First one is at the front corner by the radiator.
Second one is back about 50 - 70 cm.
Third is on the floor in the foot well near the outside edge of the
pedals.
Fourth is on the floor at about the end of the seat.
Fifth is up in the shelf area behind the seat.
Sixth is in the front part of the rear wheel well.
Seventh is at the back in the trunk.
You will need to remove the hydraulic brake, clutch, and fuel lines.
The fuel line will need to be undone both front and rear I believe.
The parking brake rod/cable.
There is some wiring to undo/remove. Grounds (negative earth?) in the
engine bay and the rear wiring.
Lifts easily with a cherry picker by yourself. Not sure how many people
to lift it. Run a chain to the outer seat belt holes and use a bolt
there.
