Build Day 3
Had a few free hours after work this evening so decided to crack on with removing the engine. The plan being to have everything that needed removing removed so that the engine could come out as soon as the hoist (that I am borrowing) becomes available.
Decided to remove the alternator and fuel filter and associated electrics first.

The road wheels needed removing next to get to the suspension struts and drive shafts which need to be disconnected. The N/S wheel came off fine but the O/S wheel has a rusty locking wheel nut on there which wouldn't budge and I don't have a key for it - will need to have a look at this next time. Once the N/S wheel was off the drive shaft was disconnected.

As the O/S wheel was proving to be a pain, I thought I would take the front bumper off next as this should be straightforward but... you guessed it - this was corroded on too and will need cutting off. At least I was able to remove the horn, the front fogs and the front valance.

With the valance off, I then removed the remaining body side mouldings before calling it a night.
