Engine

The decision has been made.
This project now becomes a full resto project.
So today we're pulling the engine out.
Along the way I made a lot of pictures. So it will be possible to look back where everything went wen we're mounting the engine back in place.

First I dismounted the exhaust manifold on the passenger side. Then all electrical cables were disconnected and laid on the engine.
This was the easy side.

On the passenger side I had to disconnect several electrical wires, the hoses for the airco and the power steering.

 Then the carburetor was removed.

 And last the exhaust manifold. On the driver side the bolts for the upper triangle of the steering was firmly touching the exhaust manifold. So I will have to shorten these bolts when mounting everything back on the car.

 After disconnecting the two bolts of the engine support brackets I was able to lift out the engine.

 The remaining parts in the engine bay will come out tomorrow after which we will continue with welding in the new pieces.
