oh... what have we here....
Yep, the engine is out!
Charged me £50 for the engine, alternator and power steering pump. I removed the AC unit which saved me £20
For anyone that's following this; after having an absoloute BITCH fit with removing the gearbox; it turned out that there was a final allen bolt hidden behind the driveshaft. Nevertheless, got the engine out with the gearbox attached, after completely dismantling the driveshaft and linkage, we found the culprit.. anywho, its sorted now.
The engine is still @ the scrappy in the warehouse, mainly becuase my shed isnt built and don't want this hanging around in my garden.
Off to the fabricators in a bit, see what we can do about looking into building this exhaust fannymold.
Also, any turbo suggestions? I'm thinking a small GT turbo; after seeing the K04 from a TT, on strictlyderv's 205, this could be a strong potential, plus he has the knowledge after working with it so could prove a useful resource?
