Thought I’d better try some of the front panels on see if they still fit after all the front end work carried out pretty pleased overall needs a few mor adjustments

I love this small gearbox lift!

One of the best tools I ever bought Is one of those transmission jacks, so much easier dropping a gearbox with one.

I'm really pleased with it, I'm not sure I've got the strength any more to lift a gearbox in off my chest.

Oh wow, that’s a cool ramp / lift. Just the sort of thing I need - i get the fear crawling around underneath the car when just using a trolley jack / axle stands. Do you mind me asking where you got it?I figured out how to put the protective coating on the underside of the floors. The lift is quite versatile

It's called a mid-rise scissor lift - mine is second hand (or third or...) And I don't think its made any more, but there are many like it. Theyre about £2k new, but do come up second hand from time to time.

I got mine from here --> https://automotechservices.co.uk/products/as-7530d-garage-scissor-lift/
Mine hasn't had as much use as I would like yet, but it's extremely well made and I'd recommend it.

They do cheaper ones too - I know Larby bought this for his 280z:
AS-0901/3 Adjustable Mobile Tilting Lift. - Automotech Services Limited
The AS-0901/3 mobile tilting lift is ideal for any workshop, mobile mechanic or DIY enthusiast. Lightweight and very portable. The machine is rolled under the vehicle and is raised by using the mechanical winding handle, no need for any air or power supply. The vehicle is simply tilted forward...

I'm very tempted.
My LD engine has been leaking oil, so I've taken it out to see what's what. I also fancy swapping the (worn) s13 box for an s14 one I picked up last year.
Sump is very oily.
I found why.
It's cracked - I think the mounts have compressed a bit and its been sitting on the rack there.
I've welded it both sides and tomorrow I'll get some epoxy putty to seal any pin holes, and figure out how to test that it doesn't leak any more.

Jesus, they look ancient. What's the story here? Were you sold something not fit for purpose?
Bad news, it's Easter sunday and the shops aren't open to buy epoxy putty.
Good news, my welding doesn't leak anyway, at least according to my white spirit lake.
Bad news, my s14 box has some aluminium shrapnel in the bell housing, so thats not going in today.
Good news, I've got a spare s13 box to put in instead.

With a day off and some pleasant weather I decided to remove the AMCO bull bar off the rear bumper. It was a bit of a faff due to the weird square nuts on the side mounts and little access and I couldn’t be bothered removing the whole bumper to do it, so I just drilled the bolts out.
The downside is that from using some Brasso to clean up the rust from where the mounts were I’ve made some clean spots!
