Hi Guys.

I had a bizzy weekend.
I know how you like photos....Well I do anyway. So

Arrived back in France end of last week with the donor car bought on e blag.
loaded to the hilt with steel and alloy

First job engine out.

Then on to her side to get the running gear off.

Now the fun bit starts...Making it all fit

David

Nice one.

I'm a fan of the "put the donor on its side" method of running gear removal too!

Mike

That's cheating! Everyone else has to struggle with an engine hoist in a cramped garage!

Looks like you're getting some nice weather too - the advantage of living half-way down France I guess...

did you crack the nuts off the rear driveshafts before you took it off the car?

i'm sure you'll have enough tackle to do it off the car if not......
