Drove past about 16:30, saw a lovely black saloon. My sister car! But didnt see any others or any action happening so figured everyone had gone home, hope it went well!

I hope it went well as was pretty much tied up all day doing stuff not on my own list of things to do! Still productive but for others for a change.

Should have knocked :) I was still there (obviously lol) Would have been good to say hello! - The black saloon is filthy at the moment, need to clean it again!!

Yeah went really well, can't thank James enough for the loan of the engine crane! By 2pm we had done everything I wanted to do! Now all I have to do is find someone to take the shell away... get smokey to collect the engine and sell the rest of the parts off :)

Yep all good, Talkingcars engine hoist was a God send, couldnt have done it without it, well we could but would be talking with higher voices and using walking sticks.

Is a heavy old lump, but couldnt beat us three.

Only thing to remove is the roll pin, from the gearbox, we couldnt move it!!! ;);)

Talkingcars had all the kit, proper strapping and even shrink wrap stuff.

We got on well, think I was back home by 2.30 ish.

Sooner take it out, than put it back in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:wizard::wizard::wizard:

Glad it went well and the weather stayed kind too, good job :thumbsup:

Well done boys!

Meet on Sunday in the New Forest to sort CV joints/ lower ball joints if anyone fancys coming along.

Would love to but will be in Amsterdam.

I know where Id rather be ;-)
Enjoy

Not going to be able to make Sunday I'm afraid, have been volunteered to service a friends C1!

If anyone happens to be near Woking before then and wants to borrow a ball joint splitter let me know.

Its half term and looks like I might be heading down to plymouth this weekend... So I don't think I can make it either!

I may make it, im down south again. I'll let you know ;)

What's needed to host one of these? I've got two BBQs and parking for at least 4 cars including mine. Maybe as many as 7.

To do:
CV boots

maybe:
Battery to boot
various polybushes.

Probably looking at a weekend in April, depending on when I can kick the missus out (temporarily, to her parents')

My College has a rather large car park........

Sounds ideal, plenty of room, plenty of hands and willing helpers with things that need doing and assistence. Plus the right tools as well.

How do they feel about it being covered in CV grease and Barbecue ash?

I'm up for another Hands On Meet, if its at mine I'll fire up the Wii for the kids :D lol if not then I'll arrange some child minding and pop along to help out :)

Im up for one, as long as Im free of course. Nice to meet fellow ZS'rs and get some work done too..........
