That exhaust system has rusted quickly!!!
Theres a few white empty shells on here atm lol lol
Luckily I didn't put much back on last time so there's hardly anything to remove lol
Yeah, it's rusted mainly along where it faces the floor. Will give it a blast of high temp paint.

Made the most of the nice weather this afternoon and whipped the little 1600 out.
Picked up an engine crane and engine stand from my mate:

I'm no clutch expert but this isn't good?

And empty bay, can't rip wiring out until I've removed the dash:

Gotta put the engine on its stand tomorrow, and will probably remove the rear beam and fuel tank. :)
Nice work Iain.
Clutch is ****ed
You welding up the engine bay?
lol you have a hoist and use it to lift the car? lol crazy.
Good work tho, that clutch has got years left it in...
I find lifting the car over the engine is loads easier than squeezing the engine out the top.
Tom yeah I was thinking of doing some of the seams, got myself a Clarke MIG so if I get good enough with some practice I'll give it a go.
Today's progress...
Got engine on its new stand, never used one before but it's really cool the access it gives you.

And removed. Bit scabby under there (found no major nasty bits so far though) but it'll all get treated:
