got the astra engine loom in the post this morning



just waiting on the other part of the engine mount now.....

started removing the old engine today...

this is what it looked like before i started...



within 10 minutes of the caravan being gone the car was in the drive and i got to work...


didnt get a great deal done because the light was fading fast as i started quite late but its a start, i got the engine loom off, dropped the exhaust, battery & battery tray off and drained the coolant and removed the water hoses & header tank

didnt really get any pics as i just wanted to get on....
will get some more done tomorrow if the weathers ok

is that a 1.2 8v comeing out if so pm me i need a starter motor

no its a 1.4 8v but everything on them is identical, i have pm'd you but dont know if you will get it or not because it goes into my outbox and doesnt say its sent ive got 2 starter motors for them so you can have one for £10 minus postage as i dont know whats its going to be because of weight

got some more work done 2day on the car, i got the driveshafts off then got the engine off its mountings, i took the radiator off aswell as i didnt want it too get damaged, the engine is almost ready to come out now, i just got to get the exhaust off the car as its in the way because i dont have a engine hoist so the engine has to be dropped out the bottom




hopefully it should be put at some point tomorrow and this other part of the conversion mount should be here aswell....

is your engine a bit camp

nah its cus its not attached to anything, the only thing holding it in is a jack

how much for that induction kit ?
