well the Type 3 is BLOODY heavy so remove the doors, guards back door and bonnet then the glass and fuel tank and the seats

this will reduce the weight heaps and you will only need 5 of your mates to help you lift the body off

there are 13 bolts down the side and 4 inside under the rear seat similar to a beetle

there are 4 on the front end and 4 on the rear end

steering coupling and wiring

also the engine and gearbox out as well
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
