and i might not have done things right etc or how you should do ... but hey tell me whats what and ill be happy to listen! Smile

anyway on to some pictures (no fancy shots was kind of grubby and wanted to try to finish it!)

got the car up to a height i first thought was plenty high enough

[Image: IMG_0964.jpg]

whipped what under tray i had left under there off

[Image: IMG_0965.jpg]

then took my decat pipe off

[Image: IMG_0966.jpg]

bit of scrapage

[Image: IMG_0967.jpg]

split my prop

[Image: IMG_0968.jpg]

then i slid the prop out the gearbox (woops)

[Image: IMG_0970.jpg]

prop on the floor

[Image: IMG_0972.jpg]

took the shifter and that off

[Image: IMG_0974.jpg]

then hunted for the bell housing bolts (only seemed to take this picture but had three long extension bars and two small ones to get to the top ones and one for the starter motor

[Image: IMG_0976.jpg]

bolts all out and just resting while i figured out how to get it to the floor without breaking it

[Image: IMG_0982.jpg]

dropped it onto a wheel i had laying about

[Image: IMG_0986.jpg]

had to slide the prop back in as gearbox oil started to come out the rear of the box where i took the prop out

Right ill start off by saying im no mechanic.. it took me for ever... and i dont want to do it again anytime soon hah

i done it on my larry and i really wish i has a hand as the car wasnt all that high and the gearbox was heavier than i thought.. only had it set up on wheels but i worked with what i had Smile

and i might not have done things right etc or how you should do ... but hey tell me whats what and ill be happy to listen! Smile

As I said elsewhere.... nice sandwich! :wink:

Looks a good job!

PS The pic limit is per post AFAIK, you could have just made a second post in the first thread... Otherwise pic heavy threads like Demon's buggy build would have busted any limit going...

Well done to you for having a go yourself, it would of been so much easier with someone helping you.

So how the car feeling now?

Ooh that brings back horrible memories of dropping the gearbox off the LS eh Dan? Especially the "Hold on, wtf are we going to support this with?" stage.

Good work :thumbup1: Out of interest did you have to use anything to jam the crank in order to stop it rotating when you did up the flywheel bolts? I've had to put a breaker bar on the crank pulley before braced against the floor to stop it rotating and I know the 1G-FE turns over pretty easily as Ed's turned over when we had a socket on the water pump pulley!

How's the balancing now that you've aligned it by eye and had the prop off and on again? Any rattles or vibrations?
