I havent been near the car since I smacked my eye about 3 weeks ago. Its still sitting there with the old bottom end still in place and the gearbox still needing removing.
I know I should get my arse in gear and get it all out so I can start putting the new engine together but its just such a pain in the arse crawling around under the car.

Maybe after Ive minced around today sorting everything else I'll go down and start on it again. The funny thing is that once I get going I could spend days down there without stopping but its just getting started thats the problem.

ps
Do I have to completely remove the prop shaft to get the box out or to disconnet it from the box or can I just unbolt it and slide it to the side?

Got stuck into Splinter Cell Pandoras tomorrow on the PS2 and have just finished it so tomorrow Im going to definitely get to grips with the car. Getting the old block and box out will be the worst part. It will be fun putting all the new bits in after.
