Now back on all fours with working brakes and handbrake, so that's engine swap done, new back axle in, brakes working, the dam list of "to do" is still to long though, back to garage.

I've spent all afternoon at the front of my garage, out of the wind and with the sun shining on me - very pleasant and productive afternoon!

I took the engine out this morning, and spent some time clearing up the garage and palletising the engines to ease collection!!

Going out again later to start stripping out the wiring and cleaning the chassis.

BIG thanks to AndyBarbet for the loan of the hoist. What a great piece of kit. Made the engine out such an easy job.

finally remade my gearbox mount (like everything, its the third time i've done it and finally i'm happy with it).

Now looking at roll bar and having panics that its too tall / looks silly. Also wondering how to get it the 'right' height to be safe without sticking up 10" above my head.

Jon did you sort anything out with the tilt switch? forgot all about your car until i saw you on kit car crisis last night you was about 3 times and not once did you actually do anything to your car just spent the time pretending to look busy

It stopped raining in the South West too, even sunny for a while.
I tended to the rear brakes on the tow vehicle, but tommorrow I do need to start the realignment of the propshaft mount in the 7.
It's been so damn cold, thawing out...
