2 days into the engine swap, and this is all i've managed to do so far, still waiting on bits from vauxhall and pipercross ( joff) so i can properly get going

my car now looks hard

and has no central locking!

Is it just me, or does taking those inner lenses out make the car look cross-eyed?

im assuming u have taken off the anti roll bar? so the bottom of the suspension strut is free to move about. theres enough play in it to pop the shafts out
i tied them up level-ish again after id removed the engine tho, to relieve stress on the cv's and bearings etc
