Ok tonight, Mark stripped the engine and we got the fuel tank, fuel lines and the last of the brakes lines off the car.
Firstly we removed the gearbox from the block, then stripped the clutch assemby off.
Still has the AP clutch i put in 5 years ago

Un bolted all the ancil brackets etc and split the block from the head. Then whipped the sump off.


Next the piston/crank/rods/oil pump/water pump were removed from the block.






Then the valves were removed from the worked head as we didn't know if they were turbo valves or not. The turbo ones are apparantly sodium filled?


Next the fuel tank, pump and lines were dropped out.





Over the weekend comes the messy job, going to roll the car outside, get it up on high stands and powerhose the bay, and under the car to remove as much crap as possible.

Lastly just a few pics of Marks sapphire. We put this together a few months back. I'll try and get a few photos together and knock up a thread for it
