engine removel

**darren j** · 8th December 2015, 10:45 PM

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

I've met Douglas a couple of years back had a chat and a quick cuppa whilst looking at his mk1a .I've looked at my engine a couple of times thinking where do I start lol never ever done one before bit worried I'll take parts off and forget were they go when it goes back in

... my uncle helped me strip some parts off my donar car to many trim bits that could of stayed on the scrapper now ive a garage full of bits and not much of a clue where they go ....oh dear me
plenty of pictures tom need to work out how to get them on here ...
