Never had bother with prop bolts. If the shells a scrapper then I cut a hole in the floor so I can see it from the top

Hammer and chissle will do the floor nicely.


Never split the leaver of an MT75, Just drop the box myself.

Hand nibbler will take 10 times longer than the hammer and chissel

I would junk everything apart from the engine loom. there's an excelent wiring diagram thread for a simple loom that will cover all you need.

The donor loom ( in my opinion having owned, stripped, fixed rebuilt countless sierras + granada and scorpio ) would take more time and effort than building a new custom loom.
