Sonicriot13 0 Posted August 29, 2009 :D Well, I've been meaning to buy one for ages anyway so thought I'd splash out on a second hand one off Ebay. Good for 1000kg. Think that should do it! Should make the removal of the gearbox and block a lot easier but more importantly it will make returning the engine to the car a doddle. 8) Can't wait to try it out tomorrow when I shoud have a decent update.

dirtytorque 0 Posted August 29, 2009 Good idea.It should hold its value ok for when your done. I've used mine loads,and has more than payed for itself. And by the looks of that garage your not struggling for space it would seem. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted August 29, 2009 I think my abundance of space is second only to Toad's corrado farm. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrbeige 0 Posted August 29, 2009 Sweet, Joe! How much was it, as I'm considering buying one myself :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted August 29, 2009 It was 100 quid in the end. Would have been 160 new from machine mart. It's just a Clarke one but will be fine for what I need it for. It's in perfect condition too. Been well looked after. Need to get a stand next. If you need one you can always borrow mine when I'm not using it. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least he's put the VR back together again though. :cheers: Right, plans for today: Breakfast. Halfords. Engine crane. Thinking about breasts. Machine Mart. Engine stand. Breasts. Separating engine parts that have been together for the best part of two decades. Swearing. Breasts. Update thread with pictures. :clap: I love Sundays!!!

Sonicriot13 0 Posted August 30, 2009 Block and gearbox are out! :cheers: Getting a block out without the head really is easy after all. If a little awkward.... Found a use for the old head bolts. :D Almost there! Touch down! :cheers: I slipped with the camera! :lol: Next job is to clear the garage of debris!

That probably would be a good idea wouldn't it! I'm not sure Chuck Taylors would offer much protection against a 30KG gearbox! :brickwall: :lol: Right, removed the rack and did a little tidying up this morning. The rack itself seems pretty good. Just very, very dirty. Just gonna clean it up and change the rods and ends. Got some stuff ready to take to the powder coaters. Only things left to remove from the bay are the power steering fluid bottle and the washer fluid bottle, then I'll clean the bay good and proper. Also I'm gonna get the front struts out and clean the arches thoroughly with the pressure washer. :D Also if anyone has one of these that they don't need any more in a slightly less rusty condition please get in touch!
