Luckily I didn't put much back on last time so there's hardly anything to remove
Yeah, it's rusted mainly along where it faces the floor. Will give it a blast of high temp paint.

That I really miss when I reminisce
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:
Bonnet and wings off for easier access:
Engine crane supports engine while I undo the mounts:
And engine sitting on a tyre and two skateboards:
Car up in the air:
And it's out:
Box and clutch off:
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

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