    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
    cheers daz

    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!

    Cheers,
    Tom
