Good good. I know you have a crane, but I've seen people do their backs in by trying to lift it that little but further. :wink:

Good good, all should go smoothly then, good to see you aren't hammering on star bits once you know what they are. :)

Me being one. You wouldn't think a mini engine and subframe is heavy.....god I was wrong.

Yeah no sh!t, everyone assumes cause the car is small and light the engine is to! DOne my back a couple of times with the good old A series.
