Well weather wasn't too bad today so had spent a quick hour on the Rocco.
Bassically the engine is now ready to come out again :muhaha:
The car was never going to run with what the garage had done to it all they had really done was got it bolted in place nothing was connected and what little was connected up was all wrong
Anyway all i have to do now is get the engine crane out and lift the old girl out

some progress piccys

As it was before i started


The offending fanbelt adjuster that was touching on the chassis rail.what they had done wrong was weld the engine mount too low and the engine was on the p**S :wall:


Removed all the charger pipes fanbelt all the dodgy wiring,pipes they had cut for no reason,coil few other bits and bobs.
Unbolted downpipe and driveshafts



was left with a big pile of junk


Should be out next weekend and old engine back in place when i have the crane back at mine

Got on with a load more today took charger off,charger bracket and alternator.shafts and downpipe and hey hoo dropped the engine out the old fashioned way lowered it down with the trolley jack






also thought the engine was standard but looks like it has a jabba stage 2 charger on it so a little bonus.



Just got to clean it all up now,change some gaskets and do the crank oil seals.also going to swap the 16v servo and TSR 280mm brake conversion onto my MK1 and then it's time for the old engine to go back in.
