Well... the beginning of it anyway! Got the engine back to the place I'm storing it for a while. Was going to just clean it up but then bits just kept falling of it as I went along!!!

So... had a slight problem with something going on the car. VERY large oil patch underneath and continually got worse everytime I turned the engine on... still looking into what this was, however a perfect excuse to get on with it??? I think so!!

Missing some pics in the middle, i will post more once I get them off my mates phone (better pics). So here goes...

Not good............

Bumper has come off as has the bonnet. And then bits start coming out. Battery, tray, inlet, right hand wiring loom, downpipes, exhaust, gear linkage, radiator.....
