Had an hour on it earlier before it got dark,
Got the bonnet and grill off,
All the radiator undone and the manifold bolts off,
Carb ready to come off,
Most of the water drained,
Got pics if you want them :)

Cleaned all the engine off today, now it looks alot better, but it's still dirty I think I'll do the worse parts when it's stripped so I can move it around easily,
Also got the head off and had a good feel of the bores and they had some lovely lips on them :L

Forgot my camera so crappy quality phone pics will have to do,
I will upload them after :)

Cleaned of the flywheel housing, sump and timing chain cover today and ripped out the sound deadening out to replace with some better stuff :)
Gonna do the subframe tomorrow if it's not wet, and paint the timing chain cover:)

im actually thinking someone hates me and doesnt want me to get this done,
i just had a call saying they recived the piston today only for it to be the wrong one :sneaky:
it was a standard 998 piston not +60
so he said he got in touch with the company and they are sending one out today and it should be there tomorrow :(
will i ever get it back!!!????
