Cleaned all the subframe and engine for painting. there was an oil leak from the turbo so thats sorted now. should have panels today or tomorrow. the end is in sight. I also depowered the steering rack so i wont be pushing fluid around for no reason.
Ur some boy to pull that thing apart . Good work all the same
Cheers Haydn! The way the car is now i can pull it apart really easily. No power steering or aircon to worry about so its two bolts on the gbox, three or four on the engine and unplug a few sensors and shes out. Subframe is 8 bolts and i can lift the car over it with the hoist hahaQuote:

It was getting in the way of the turbo outlet so i did away with it. same reason for removing the aircon. and the pump was gone anyway so it didnt really make a massive difference. i took the rack out and pumped it clear of fluid so it isnt that bad tbh.Quote:
