205 DT sleeper - boosting video pg10 and pg11

So couldn't be arsed making a photo album of an engine change, so downloaded a quick stop motion app, here are the results with the obligatory "hi look at me in my engine bay" picture.

Fairly single handed this job, with the odd hour help from max, as well as spare engines, gearbox's and odds around the garage after shit wouldn't budge!!!















So as the car stands - the car is in, fuel and basic wiring to get it running - ran out of time yesterday, didn't get it turning over quite - a sat engine just didn't want to breathe

Will have another day tinkering soon to get this on the road, it's getting fuel etc, just a dry ass engine took a while to turn over - ended up killling the battery, so charging this up then back onto getting it living.


As usual - encountered numerous problems on the way, hence the engine coming out UNDER the car but nonetheless, new engine is in, on two mounts.


Left to do - plumbing, rest of wiring, both drishafts (recond'), suspension, new brakes, hubs and wheels to put on then on the road!
