Remove rear doors
Remove rear guttering around roof edge
Lever roof from wood if fitted with tacks, unscrew if small screws used
Remove inner wood cappings along waist rail
Remove side windows
Remove rear wings (screwed onto rear arch)
Remove ACME screws from front wood pillar to B post
After that it's matter of removing all of the woodwork screws and coach bolts.
Ally panels are screwed to the various wood sections.
It's harder to put it back together

Taking it aparts a doddle - ha ha - its putting it back together thats when the fun starts!
Book yourself a week in an hotel for a week of pampering and massage afterwards. you'll need it. Good luck

Dont forget the bolts that hold the front of the roof to the cab roof. They are hidden under the roof lining, both rear and front.
