was told no point repairing as could just crack again and the crack was on the inlet side which caused alarm bells as they normally crack on the exhaust side, so i was told. i sold it on ebay as a damaged block and got just under 300 for it.

started getting the old engine out.

I've got a auto electrician booked to relocate the battery to the boot next week and I'm probably going to spary the bay whilst the engine is out.

Progress has been slow but the engine is now out. the auto electrician has also been round and started to relocate the battery to the boot, im really happy it, it looks a lot neater ford ran far too many feeds to the battery, also remove the panels that houses the heater blower, I think this looks better when removed.

Ifs suprising what a bit of paint does to car parts. It makes them look so fresh.
