Stop mincing about with wheels and get the fkin engine in!!

[Ste L]

all in good time Dave...

still need to buy a few service bit's for the engine first lol

[DaveB]

wtf. Are you just lacking motivation or what? lol

I'll come over and lend a hand if needed mate

[Ste L]

a bit, and also, finding time with having a 19month old kid aint easy lol...


hopefully gonna make a start ripping engine out next week, depending on weather

[DaveB]

Could easily get most of it sorted in a day mate

Seriously, if you need a hand let me know and (providing I can get permission off 'er indoors ), I'll bob over and lend a hand

[CraigGreen]

Give im a chance to get all the bits together FFS.

He has everything bar a few mincey bits. Everything is there to get the engine out and get the majority of the new bits in.

[CraigGreen]

[damo1]

damo

[Ste L]

what other exhaust system?

[Ste L]

had an half arsed attempt at cleaning the box today :lol:

before...


after

[Ste L]

had a quick mince at the garage today...

out comes rad




followed by airbox, headertank & battery tray




followed by manifold and im left with this..




also disconnected clutch, engine loom, accelerator cable,

all that left to do now is, gear linkage & fuel pipe's, then i and whip engine out




found out a few things to day - need a new rad, as the 1.0 12v is different
and the post 97 or 1.0 12v had different mounts for the front mount on the air box, so my pre-97 gsi one wont fit - sorted that though, can use the car's original bottom, with gsi top half


and thats all folk's
