After a trip to dundee for the engine we unloaded it off the van and put in tommy's garage

After work today started takin the old 1.2 out, as tommy wasnt bothered how it came out we took no prisoners and had it out in no time



The engine bay wasnt the cleanest so it was time for a clean
before



After

Now the fun began

when takin the rear mount off tommy was amazed to find a nice spacer with an opel sticker on it lol

after some blood sweat and tears and some good manouvering with our makeshift hoist it was in



Not too bad for a days work
