thanks i think my sr looks good to

[conza123]

and its solid apart from needing a whole passenger side rear qauter as someone has badly welded a arch repair panel on and i think there are less ripels in the sea

Looks good. It was looking much better last night after we put all the bits back together than when it was delivered lol

You're best putting the engine in from the bottom i.e. a jack. It's much easier and less hassle.

you dont need to lift it completely just pick up one end and put the jack under. plus they are not that heavy, are you a man or a mouse lol
