What? Another one? Yes, another one, seeing as one of mine is away for bodywork I thought I would squeeze this in.
This is a friends car. Really nice on the body, suspension, brakes all work, not bad at all. But the engine, sadly, rattles like someone took a bag of spanners on a buckin bronco.
Ready for surgery
Started on it at half 2 Saturday afternoon, with a plan of getting the engine out, then tackling the gearbox and subframe at a later date, however, unusually, things went spiffingly well and I got the whole lot out by half six
Was fortunate with the subframe bolts to be fair, three came out OK and I only had to chop one off, and even then it wasnt seized in the collar and just dropped out. Relief! I've spent multiple sessions battling subframe bolts before now!
Both in bits now!
