big progress today which means the car is much lighter at the front
jacking it up and exhaust coming off

craig with the exhaust off
slowly the car gives up the engine
you may think you`ve emptied all the coolant but theres always a little bit which waits for the perfect moment to spill on the floor!!!
engine slowly coming out
me and craig gently dropping engine on the jacks while holding our breath!!!
thumbs up from my mate chris as the engine finally touches down on the floor
engine on the floor and craig removing inlet manifold
engine put up quite a fight and i came out with a minor injury!!
im sure that spanners in hewre some where???
the inlet manifold which didnt come off easy either!!
empty engine bay
rear of the car jacked up
engine safely on the floor
you can get alot in an escort bay!!!
car outside with no engine
the powerplant that is the cvh turbo!!!
me craig and chris
me craig and the photographer steve
after all that we r making huge progress so tomorrow should be an awesome day when the car should be nearly completely stripped.[/img]
