Busy day today. Firstly I put back the flywheel, torqued it down and bent over the locking tabs. Installed the new clutch plate and centred it while tightening the clutch housing. All went fine.

Pulled over the gear box and slid it straight on. The engine now looks even bigger.

I had to disassemble the front of the car again, so off with the bonnet, grill and bumper. Lights were taken off as well as the cross member. An hour or so of preparation. Car looks like it did months ago now 😮

It is so heavy, even to slide around on its stand. So out comes the engine hoist.
