up against it deadeye  :\ .....been there myself a few times....going back many,many,many years when i was your age i had a mk1 escort with v6 3.0 ltr essex engine...one hell of a car.. :lol ....living with my parents and no garage meant working outside,it had a fierce appertite for rear diffs,gearboxes and head gaskets all fixed outside in all weathers,engine was a tight fit so to remove the gearbox that was engine out time,towards the end of my ownership engine in and outs were done in a day with time to spare  .....one car i shouldn`t of sold  :'( ...


time to walk away for a while matey,things will be easier when you go back......is the estate agent going to let you put it back together ?.........as iam a little  :rolleyes [size=78%]older than you,i now have my own garage at the bottom of the garden with light and power,and just about all the tools i need....it makes it a lot easier,no need to tidy up at the end of the day,just close the door untill tomorrow,iam half way through a job on mrs reds car its cold and frosty and wet outside but no problem for me ..........you`ll get there mate [/size] .........pm to self,stop reading noggys long posts  :lol

Yeah, the weather doesn't bother me much as long as it isn't raining... even then it still doesn't stop me, I just complain about it

I'm getting a bit faster at dealing with the gearbox, but its still a pain in the ass getting it to line up with the engine every damn time.

As for whether the estate agents will let me put it back together... well I'm not really going to give them a choice in the matter. From what I've gathered speaking to my neighbours, no one cares apart from one grumpy old man in one of the flats who just so happens to be the building manager. Most of my neighbours have actually offered help and the use of any of their tools. If I get caught again and they choose to evict me, then so be it. I told them that there may be one more incident due to having to move the car off the premises - technically a lie, but they woke me up with their phone call so I wasn't processing information at that time. I figure if they say anything then I'll fall back on this.

Hell, the first time I was told that I wasn't allowed to have the car on axle stands - for whatever reason I don't know. Now its been upgraded to no work what-so-ever outside of the garage. Unfortunately, the car is in no position to be moved at this time without further work and the garage won't fit the car - especially with everything else already in there, including two Fazers
