You really need to take it apart? Looks like you could blast it and repair it as a unit. You'd need plenty of strength in the rear corner uprights either way.
You came in as I was posting the remaining photos Gordon. It may have looked reasonable in the photos but believe me it was pretty flimsy. It is easy to think these designs may be alright when rebuilt and driving on modern roads but the reality is these old girls would have spent a life time on dusty, heavily corrugated gravel roads in Australia and literally shaken to bits. Years of weathering does nothing for the timber.
