Dont really know what to use yet , is there special paint to use was going to use something like smooth hammerite , or wont this withstand the heat?

I took it out from underneath in the end , was a pain in the ass cause i used a crane to lower it down but couldnt get it close enough to the front of the car because it was too high , so lowered it but then couldnt get the prop out the gearbox cause it was too low, and not enough clearance for the engine to come out

Then it was more fun getting the engine and gearbox in and out of a fiesta :compress: and even more fun trying to get it in the shed and onto the bench ... will deffo be asking some mates to help me put it back in :brilsmurf:

will get some pics up soon
