This at your work place then, Mike?

You'll have to let me know where I'm going then. :)

Buffy

:nod:

It isn't a car garage with lifts or anything :no: Just a big factory with 20 ton cranes :D (should get the engine out with those)

We are going to have 2 cars to work on at the same time, Dave's old car and his new one.

The engine is coming out of the write off (plus the ECU)

Engine out of new car and replaced with other engine.

Obviously there will be a lot of swapping stuff over to do so should be enough for a few people to get on with at the same time :)
