    As said, i found the o/s mount has cracked. So i'l be getting a new one so when thats fitted, i'm planning to pop the gearbox mount off and repaint it.
    Wasnt really planning on fitting the lump today tbh. But we got in the zone.

    Never seen a engine going in thru the top tho!!!! Tried it with a small block once, never again!!! Let alone a big block. If I were you I'd been very worried bout damaging you lovelly bay!!......respect.
    Cheers dude its nice to really get cracking on it tbh.
    As i said above, there is loads of room when going in from the top. You need a bit of angel on it yes but its easy to slot in.
    Got a bit close to the bulk head at one point as the engine wasnt sitting right but a old jumper and my hand worked at a soft blocker..

    dont forget to fit two extra bucket seats for your knackers, they must be huge for putting it in yourself I'd of paid someone to do it just in case.

    I wouldnt trust anyone but Dan to work on my car other than me.
    Some would being paid wouldnt care as much.
    Doing it all your self means you get that better feeling.

    Did give the oil pump a good clean and a wire brush off, but the finish didnt really come up..

    Shafts, tie bars and lower arms have been cleaned and painted. New cv boots ready to fit.
