Everything is in pretty good condition.

95% of the leather is still pretty much perfect.

Some sticker/badge was stuck on and ripped off at some point. The remnants are almost f**k impossible to get rid of..

dunno if anyone else has suggested it, try tea tree oil or eucalyptus oil.....

Why did you take the BBM off before removing the engine?

Much easier to do with it out of the car.

Cheers

I honestly thought it was impossible to reach anything on the right hand side of the engine with the bbm attached.. Removing the heater hoses was a b**ch of a job.. I couldn't even imagine doing it with the bbm in the way.

Yep, underneath is how it is done.

You get the fuel lines, starter motor cable and heater hoses from underneath.

Much easier.

Oh yea.. I would've liked to go underneath.. but there happened to be almost every kind of fluid on the floor haha. Oh well, next time I'll try doing it differently.

Anyway here's some pics.

the top of the motor got caught on the firewall as we were getting it out, and bent the brake lines.. I know the new motor wont be going in today that's for sure.

Oops. They are a bit bent! Hopefully you can bend them back.
