Hi Folks, been a while since I have been on here so thought I would give a quick update.
I have started stripping the Sierra, it's a 2.0 DOHC with MT75 box. Many thanks to Axle for the info he supplied and to all the others that responded to my cries for help:)
I am just about at the point of lifting the engine and box out, all bolts have been loosened so it shouldn't take long. I am hoping a mate of mione can come and help. My drive is on a steep slope , once I start to lift out the engine and box I have to move the car back and down the slope as my lifting gear is fixed. If I get a problem at this stage things could get tricky:eek:
This will be only the second time I have removed an engine so I am a bit apprehensive.
I have just ordered a chassis flat pack from Handy Andy, if his product is half as good as his pre sales support then I will be bloody delighted!! Thanks Andy for being patient with me and answering all my stupid questions so quickly and politely. I look forward to receiving my bits.
I have fixed my garage roof (I think) so I can get my build table done, I won't do that until I have all the donor parts out though.
So that's it for now, if it stops raining I might get out and do some work.Regards to all,
Enoch
