What's the best way to do it?

I probably should buy a Haynes Manual for a Calibra

-Water Hoses
-Loom
-Mountings?

That the order to do it? How long will it take? Should get it out on a Sunday Right?

Sit on the engine and get your mates to lift the car round you.

or an angle grinder in a circular motion around the inside edge of the bonnet then lift the car and recycle

sorry just been silly.

i would of thought all hoses first then wires and stuff then just a case of unbolting it then

You need to remove the loom
you need to remove the water pipes and shit
you need to drain the oil out

You really could just angle grind round it, that would be so much fun
