weather has been but sh1te today as normal so took bit longer as kept having to cover up tools etc and dash inside...

didn`t have height in garage for crane really so cut out the slam panel
as the shell is being scrapped, this made engine removal much quicker and easier.....

here is the engine and box nearly in situ...

just lining up the mounts here...

got prop/guibo linkage to bolt up 2moro then all the hoses and wiring
