1st October 2010 - Engine out!

Today I hired an engine hoist from County Hire in Tadley to get Pod's engine out. It absolutely chucked it down - I was soaked to the skin.
I had already undone all the bolts holding the engine to gearbox and the engine mounting bolts. With no bodywork in the way the engine plopped out incredibly easily.

Here's the engine, bolted to my shiny new engine stand.

Pod is looking sadder by the day - hopefully this will all be worth it!
