OK,

Well its out sort of out the top way but only by cutting the front cross member off and being a bit brutal with the engine hoist!

I have cut all the wiring plugs off and taken all the relays etc from the car.

Is there anything important I should be looking to salvage before it gets taken to car heaven??>

Front is best Grin

Any pipework, heater matrix, I kept all the dials and switches ignition etc.. so I can effectively have the engine running without plumbing it into the bus loom and then start weeding out all the wires I don't need. Kept the dials so I can hopefully have accurate reading doubt I'll actually use them but good for testing purposes hopefully... I guess the rule is keep anything that might possibly be useful.

Yer dito heatinf system, pipes, exhaust, relays, bits of wireing loom, gauges, I found alot of the auto nuts and bolds very usefull, earth straps, battery.

I cant think of much more although I did keep on finding usefull stuff on my donnar as the project went on. I didn't get red of my donar until the engine was in and running-just to be on the safe side.
