Spent 3 hours in the garage this afternoon, emerged with 3 skinless knuckles, and this progress:






note the lack of clearance whatsoever, not even sure the wiring for the injectors will fit yet...


clearance issues again, there is no chance the alternator is gonna fit there...



and also seeing as i had the camera out, some pics of damaged front bumper...




... and this mean machine over the road...



enjoy

the injectors wont go in facing forward, they stop the manifold from seating down properly by fouling the top of the head, havent got my wiring loom here else i'd try it now

diddy alternator looks the only way, or fit the alternator in front of the engine using a power steering pump bracket. will investigate further once i've stopped bleeding
