Moved the M.Ds XK 8.

Sadly it's keyless start. His secretary asked me to move it as she couldn't reach the pedals

Then, I nearly couldn't get in as the seat was set too high.

But out of range of the key in her hand it wouldn't play ball. Doh !

I did have other more sinister thoughts, like Accidentally selecting drive instead of reverse, but sadly I need a job ATM.

Finally got the engine/box out of the 3.2. It fought me every step of the way. Im absolutely cream crackered tonight. Im too old to be doing jobs like that on my todd now. Engine bay is covered in blood from all the cuts & grazes.Looks like someone was murdered in there.
Got to change the oil cooler on it in the morning.Should be easy enough with the engine stood on the drive.

When is it off to the bin?

[albitz]

Presumably you mean the shell ? Not sure tbh.Need to shift the interior first ideally.Wil then be able to strip out small,but useful parts and bin the rest. It will probably be 3 -4 weeks.
The engine is being collected at the weekend,as is my bike.Which is in the middle of my run of nightshifts.I also need to get the Cavalier back on the road,am currently decorating the bathroom in my spare hours,and have a list of jobs to do on my own Omega.
Theres no rest for the wicked they say.And apparently Im a wicked bastid.

[05omegav6]

Might have need of some metal work is all, but no immediate rush

Just remember, it's not called a never ending list for nothing

[albitz]

Metalwork. Panels or bits chopped off ?
Talking of which. I chopped the slam panel out today so I didn't have to lift the engine so high to get it out.

[05omegav6]

Bits chopped off/out, but as said no hurry

Nothing that will affect the ability to drag it to the tin factory though

[albitz]

Drop me a PM when you get a minute and I will sort it out for you if I can.
