it's that time again for an update
yesturday i managed to borrow a mates engine crane so i could remove the engine, gearbox and prop etc, so at 5pm i finally had the time to do it. iv never removed an engine on my own and couldnt beleive how easy it was!!
heres a couple of pictures of the engine befour it was removed...
soo, first up was removing the prop
done
next was the gearbox, i had to sit this down on the floor until the engine was removed so i could pull it out so no pictures...
then it was time for the exhaust manifold and s/s exhaust system to come off... (the s/s systems proberly the best part of the car lol)
then it was time for the engine extraction
so i set the engine crane up and went for it...
and its out
so now i have a big hole where the engine used to be and i can now see exactly what needs to be done in the engine bay which suprisingly isnt a great deal
with the engine out i now had enough space to pull the gearbox out..
and some pics of the engine removed and where needs attention..
think this was where the battery tray used to be
not quite sure what this is all about?
i was quite proud of myself after that so while i still had abit of go left in me i rolled the car back and stripped what was left on the rear of the car
jobs a gooden, but im literally holding myself up now with my garage, so once i have abit of spare time and money i'l get my garage sorted out and get whats left off the car and get it on its side to have a decent look at the underside
thats all for now folks, thanks for looking.
all the engine, box, prop and exhaust are for sale if anyone wants them?
