engine removel
hi all
after months of saving to get my solid white 89 t bar painted and brought back home :)it is now ready to start re-building I was wondering if they are any members in the Yorkshire area that could help me remove my engine from my scrap car on to an engine stand so I can give it a good clean and replace parts.
I can borrow an engine lift to assist I also have a trolley jack and various tools.
I am based at York

Hi Daz,
Nothing like a good project! :)
I'm down in Sheffield and would love to help, but am flat out (work, wedding to organise etc. etc. :)) until mid-February. Douglas (The Silver Fox) is up your way, and we assisted him in removing his engine the other year, so perhaps it'll be like a full circle if he is free to help you out.
If you remove all of the things that you can before the big removal day, it really is a quick process when you have a few hands to throw at it.
Good luck, and keep us updated. Pictures are always good! :D
Cheers,
Tom
