Final preparation

Before fitting the engine, I had two jobs to do - firstly, the M10x75 bolts were very slightly too short, so I got some M10x80 bolts and replaced them.

The other job was to reorganise the brake lines (hand brake and hydraulic lines).

Fitting the engine

Before the engine could be fitted, I lowered the back of the car so it wouldn't need to be lifted quite so much.

And with the engine hoise, a bit of heaving and the assistance of my neighbour who made sure that one side was going in the right holes, it was in.

The worry I had yesterday about it level wasn't actually a problem - it's perfect!

Other door

I started to make the hinges for the other door - since they're identical to the first door, I didn't take any pictures of them.

Bottom gearbox mount

One of the bits that I didn't get with the new gearbox was the bottom gearbox mount - John's got me one, but in case he needs it, I decided to make one using some 6mm thick bar, and the remainder of the 13x26mm solid bar (which I tapped).

And with it fitted

Tomorrow, I'll finish off the other door.
