Yes, well done on engine removal - getting it out is usually quicker than putting it in (ooh err ) but depending on your age, it's always handy to take a photo or two - otherwise you invariably end up with a bracket, two washers and a funny bolt left over and you can't for the life of you remember where they went (Age=the older you get, the more experienced you get at these things, but the memory isn't so good). What I always find is that you soon run out of space in the garage to put things or all the spanners / sockets you used have a life of their own. If you take your time and only work on it when you want to, it's really rather enjoyable.

I think there's over 20 screws holding it all together. Lost count after they took some out that were trying to escape. Three surgeons stood around the bed a few days after it happened and one of them said he'd give it a go while the others wanted to lop it off. Obviously I went for the optimist, though I was so full of morphine at the time I wasn't overly bothered.

Even seasoned pros were first timers once ! The fact that you got it out,on your own without any ballsups makes me think that its more confidence than ability you lack There are people with far less experience tackled swaps - they get as far as they can and then post questions to get them further on It doesnt matter if it takes you longer than other people,different people work at different paces I think you should pat yourself on the back mate

Barny I'd list them on Exchange and Mart or go to another steam rally with them. Not many cross flow users have access to ebay

I have to say this is one blindingly quick car - very impressive indeed! Sorry Jan but I'm not in the market for another! Good luck with the sale Cheers Kevin
