If bits start falling off they obviously werent ment to be there in the first place Adam when do you fancy doing your springs! lol

Nar with all the help on here if you do get stuck least know someone will be able to give guidance,
Sounds like a lot of work but fair play for keeping the car going

Hehe very true Jay

Aye Mick, it will be. Specially with the short gearshift link now ordered - light weight flywheel is on the cards atm as the money for that fell through...sucks lol.

Anyway, this is what the car currently looks like



Took that as we downed tools today.

And here is where it's bent





Still not sure where that is?



Right there...didn't realise it until today. So we'll get it jigged to straighten it all up as it should be

Todays efforts...

Time for the big guns:



Latch it on


Double check!


It's now or never! Has it moved?


Err...my engine appears to be missing








Needless to say I'm pleased!!! The engine is out and tomorrow night its old gearbox off + if possible new one and new clutch on. Then its cambelt *gulps*

I'll take my SLR to the yard tomorrow and take lots of BIG photos if anyone is interested.
