spent saturday getting the lower part of the engine in. went in nice and easy as we lowered the car onto the engine which was already sitting on a dolly. dad resprayed both chassis legs which are now looking good. hopefully get most of it finished off tomorrow just the head to build up and go in but waiting on a couple of gaskets.

and the engines done! fired up fine but the engine management light was on. plugged my laptop in to find the knock sensor was at fault. changed that and all is good so far. just need to run it in before PVS.
