I want to strip rear tub off / seat box / wings / bonnet for tidying up and painting but still need a running engine so it can go for a service while i'm doing the bodywork. Do you think I could get away with this? Just concerned about removing the fuel pipe from rear tub etc.

Yes, I still had petrol in the tank. All I did was tape over the filler and breather holes on the tank. This is NOT totally safe, so don't blame me if you become engulfed in flames please! It was drivable by sitting on the petrol tank, taking care not to get wrapped up by the prop shafts and handbrake spinning so close by. You get a great view of how much the suspension moves if you can take it for a spin over some rough ground as I did, only I then ran out of petrol and had to push the 2A back to the workshop.
