I know I've got the floor section and the crossmember as I've seen them

Yep but you have to cut a lump out of your floor I think.

Last night the general consensus was while you've got all the right bits its not a straight bolt on job. It will need, some/quite a bit, of fettling.

OK, fair enough. Nice to have people around with experience. Carlo's done this swap (at least once) I know, and did Pete swap Joe's engine or did he come with it?

With any luck I'll make next thursday - I'm back on wednesday night.

Carlo estimated 2-3 hours for an engine swap, thats 1098 to 1275 so no changes to anything else required.

Even doubling your original estimate won't work because it will then take twice as long as your new estimate.

Voice of experience talking there

but I know exactly what you mean

Where to this week then?

I suggest that one in Ashurst, next to the station.

BTW I've just got the piccy's from the rally back. Fantastic random shot of RogerRust. Must remember to bring them this week.

The pub in Ashurst is fine by me - I hope to be there this week...

Cheers - Mike.

Was that the one we went to when we stood in the carpark afterwards for about a minute before it got too cold?

Just in case I make it...

Post by **Rob_Jennings** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 11:03 am

yep thats the one Jim

see you guys there tomorrow

Post by **Peetee** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 2:50 pm

I don't think I can make it.
It's the School nativity play. I shall be at the back sticking red hot pins in my eyes for a bit of light relief

Thats not nice!

I shaln't be there tomorrow, and next week I shall be in Manchester.

Anyone around to meet this Thurs (21st), any preferences on venue?(have to say the Ashurst pub we were in last week is nice - good beer, nice ambience...and easy to find in the dark!).
Regards Mike.

Sounds good to me. It's a straight road back to Southampton.

Post by **Rob_Jennings** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 9:50 am

OK looks good for me too, finally the doors on lizzy are all sorted now with a new weather strip in place so won't be so cold driving ;-)

see you there just after 8

Post by **Matt** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 10:04 am

Well I don't know where that pub is... I will come if FreeMog passes its MoT

Post by **d_harris** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 12:53 pm

But I won't! Its a bit of trek from manchester

Post by **paulk** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 2:54 pm

Lightweight

Hopefully will be along

Post by **Matt** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 4:39 pm

Someone give me a postcode and a name please!

Post by **Rob_Jennings** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 4:58 pm

err think its called the new forest pub?

otherwise Ashurst station which is right next to it is your best landmark, follow the signs for that

Post by **paulk** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 5:20 pm

Coming from Soton its past the Happy cheese, Over the bridge and just on the left. You'll see us parked against the road side of the car park normally.

Post by **Rob_Jennings** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 5:45 pm

turn at the sign for the station, once you go over the railway line, you probably won't see the cars until you turn in. the station is the best landmark for you
