Outie

[LoBelly]

On Saturday I made a start on the heart/lung transplant.

Its all fairly standard stuff so have just added some descriptions below the pictures.


There seemed to be a paucity of car stands so the gantry did duty lifting the Cobra to working height until Matt came with the stands and the new toy.



The new toy is the engine crane - one of the several pieces of equipment that I have a 1/2 share in that will never come to my place. In this shot we're discussing how to explain to enquiring spouses why an engine crane is necessary when there is a big-a$$ gantry exactly above the engine bay of the car - (silly women)


The engine is free of the car - seems to have dragged the transmission out with it. Having convinced me that there is no way I could consider just freshening up the engine and running it for couple of years my brother has now discovered a use for it (!) By the look of him Matt is also considering some options.


Now somewhat lighter in the front end the car is pushed outside for a degrease before being put away for next weeks activities.


Any guesses where the coolant may be leaking?
Don't 'spose we'll be able to tell 'till we get her apart...

until next time.....
