me and Larance Carryed my 1.6 16v out of a shed down a hill (about 100 yards in mud dodging all the Dog shit) then picked it up and put it in the back of my Escort

Get about 4 mates carry it with 4 of you should be ok.

i was going to, but have decided that i like the silver, pluss the inside is silver anyways so it will match.


i also need the air pump, immob chip (forgot them when i picked the engine up, so i gotta go an collect them)
and a radiator for the 1400. and a pipe for the exhaust, from the manifold to the backbox.


anyone got a radiator they wanna sell?

i will be doin it in a day (hopefully) i get tio use the garage this week. i gotta go to leeds tomorrow to pick up the immob chip and air pump for the engine. and clear some shit out of the garage i will be using. i also have a couple of top mechanics that will be there too if i get stuck yey yey

i have been sorting out the engine today. putting an ajustable alternator bracket on, taken power steering off, put the new non-powersteering engine mount on, new alternator belt, put all the pipes for the throttal body on, and put K&N on.

had a drive of the car today too, on a private road its slow running on 2 cylinders. lol. but the brakes are good, and they havent been bedded in yet. everything seems a bit stiff as its been sat for 7 months!!!!!! hopefully once its running everything should sort itsself out.
