Title: guess what!!!? (now with a quick pic!)
Post by: ...joe on 21 May 2005, 20:44

i put my engine in today!!!!!!

finally after being held up by so many things i had it all planned out and although i had to wait til after 3 this afternoon to get the engine hoist it went in smoothly, i didn't even cut/bruise/graze my self!! must be getting ood at this spanned weilding lark!

all thats left to do is fit the radiator (got a new one) and bolt up the drive shafts, then crap my self as i turn the key for the first time.

alll in all i'm pretty chuffed with how it looks as well!
