Sounds like a frustrating few hours in the heat there. Hate stuff like that.

A day of ups and downs working on the MB2 today Managed to do the last few jobs to get the engine ready to install. However, try as we might we just could not get the engine to go into the mounts, despite everything going ok. After about 4 hours of swearing, hoisting the engine up and down, and tilting it evey which way we could think of, it would just not go into the mounts and the aux belt and pulleys kept getting snagged After giving up and looking on the internet for advice I found that the right hand (drivers side) engine mount supplied was the wrong one. Our looks like this with the "cradle" coming out the side of the mount But it's supposed to look like this with the cradle on top! Because the mount fits to the car and the rest of the kit is correct we didn't realise for an embarassingly long time. Never mind ... I will complain and hope to get supplied the correct part as soon as possible For now this is as far as we've got ... So close but yet so far ...

Quick photo from last night. Looking forward to the suspension refresh and getting this thing slammed. Other news - carpet and some dash trim is out ready for welding.
