A couple of hours today saw a good deal more progress. I grabbed a spanner from Robin to get rid of the fan – I can’t tell you how much I could have done with that yesterday!

Then it was time to get the injector wiring out of the way, which marked the point at which all electrics were clear. We removed the power steering pump and tied all that gubbins out of the way to the car. The fuel lines were separated, and then it was engine out time!

A few bolts and a bit of a wiggle and we had the gearbox separated.

That was our objective for the day, so we finished off with a bit of a tidy. Tomorrow we’ll work on moving all the ancillaries, and the flywheel and clutch to the replacement motor block. So for now, the car looks a little like this!
