I'm doing the same thing, in cold liek you guys, althogh i removed my own engine, so i sorta know what i'm doing

[tricky]

I have to do all my work on the drive infront of the garage (In the freezing!!). Pretty hartbreaking when you finish your conversion and drive for a week only to find that some tw@t had dropped a load of needle rollers into the gearbox when he'd removed it and that it'll prolly all have to come out again to be changed.

how u mean? i removed all that stuff myself, but i still dont know what am doin!! :wink:

[Lunner]

Haha, well i've already made all teh mistakes and know how it all goes together lol

Althoguh half of it was **** it cut it out rather tehn remove it, most of the hoses and witres were cut rather then unplugged

[Coops]

mad! how u fix it all? used sacrificial motor or summit to get new stuff to splice onto what u cut? all i lost so far to hacksaw n blind rage is lower timing belt cover and the fuel hose from rail to cold start injector!!

[Lunner]

Nah this was taking the motor out of the donor car

[summeh]

my car is also in the same condition currently... waiting to be moved to my new house where i will fix it :)

[richy]

my r19is still sat in the garage with engine waiting to come out, only got mounts to undo but cant be bothered at the mo lol, might sort it soon

[Rich]

get it done you slack git! it will only takeyou an hour! enough room to swing a cat in that engine bay :lol:

[Coops]

interestingly enough i found a cat in my engine bay, looks like someone had tried to swing it and failed miserably as it looked less than happy....... :P
