I know it's not a ford, but it will have ford running gear - so thought I would stick it up anyway. Not done much so far due to amassing bits first then blitz-fit them later philosophy that I have, anyhoo:

...made a bit of progress today, too hot to do any huge bits of work though. Hope to get the gearbox unbolted from the engine tomorrow and get the prop out and interior out so I can get everything sorted for the engine transplant next weekend.



First whipped the bonnet off - it doesn't really lift high enough to work on the engine.

Drained the cooland and whipped the rad out as well as all the cowling around it.



Then whipped the exhaust manifold off, now just the actual engine lift out to do - but I need to pick up the crane to do that (can't lift them from so low down )





Also will probably get the suspension off for some new shocks and bushes tomorrow.
