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

join the club paul! i was out there today removing the exhaust, heat shields, prop, gearbox and clutch from the 325 today. got soaked laying in puddles that seemed to converge right under the middle of the car (of course), but laying in the nice hot bath, feeling glad that i'd completed what i set out to do today, was well worth it!
