You seem to be making good progress  :congrats:

Did you install a new pick up pipe?

Ricky123:
I put the one off my broken engine on this lump as it was only a couple of hundred miles old

Ricky123:
The engine was that tight coming out I've decided to take the front end off to get the new one in.

Others might think it's a lot of hassle and try it another way but believe me if your taking the engine out and leaving the gearbox in then remove your front end lol

Makes life a lot easier and it's not hard to do.








I'll post some more pictures up soon. I'm getting the jet wash out and giving the bay a good going over.

I also had a look at the front brakes, wishbones etc to check the condition  :happy2:
