Well decided i was been a girl, so went back out in the rain and made a start

Drained all the fluids, Auto gearbox, Engine oil, coolant

Disconnected all electrics as required, just need to disconnect ecu loom and pull back into engine bay

Unbolted AC compressor from engine block

Unbolted power steering pump

Removed rad and all coolant pipes possible

Gonna get under tomorrow and discoonnect prop and loosen gearbox mounting plates and engine mounts in readiness for sunday.

Hopefully Sunday should be a breeze 8O 8O :mad:
