bolted up and then tacked in place

engine removed and welded up

so the plan for tomorrow is my brother has 2 more plates left to weld in, do alternator recess finish off welding all the plates in fully (very little to do ) then the car can go to the body shop and the engine bay painted
but at least the engine will physically bolt in the engine bay now which is nice!
spot on mate :thumb:
cheers
