Well done on saving this coupe! A great way to save a coupe by 4 of you to chipping in with it. I saved a Scottie turbo earlier this year and it can be quite a task!

The boot looks amazingly clean Simon. Amongst all the work that is required some salvation was the lack of road dirt and salt being thrown up at it year after year, so yes it's quite clean! Edit: transferred this

Would it be worth investing in a pop up tent type thing that you see at track days etc?

I've an engine crane you're welcome to borrow if you want Simon. Maybe a bit far away and a bit much hassle getting it to you?

What are you planning to do that justifies removing the engine anyway? Belts, tensioners, water pump, clutch - and just have some room to spring it into life after 14 years.... Also makes access to the bay and underneath easier for rust treatment. Although not as bad as it could have been, it means the job's done more thoroughly.

Belts, tensioners, water pump, clutch Hmmm... I've just done all that (and radiator, aircon pipe, cv joints) with "engine in" and would do it the same way again if I had to. Actually after all the fuss about the cambelt change for the last 20 years I have to say I'd rather do that again than the clutch. There's a lot of additional work in removing all the connectors, wiring loom, fuel lines, hoses etc. to completely remove the engine, not to mention the fun of maneuvering it out of the bay + you'll need an engine stand and hoist. Of course if you can get the engine/gearbox out of the car in the next month while the weather holds up and then get it indoors to play with over the winter then that would be entirely sensible.

That radiator and the radiator support bracket look awful! Where did the two springs come from that are in this pic --> From the rear brakes?

Think the springs are from the rear calipers, yeah.
Remember to save the rubber top mounts from the radiator before you bin it.

Joe filled me in with some of the background when I popped in today to FCSS for a pre-Zurich trip inspection. Sounds like a good idea as a shared project - I hope it goes well and is perhaps an inspiration to others.

Have you got yourselves an engine hoist and maybe an engine stand? I'm curious about how the engine removal goes, are you still planning to take it out?

Tbh it's very much in hibernation at the moment, seeing as ours is outside (though with a cover) and it's far too cold! But imagine a couple of phoenix-like identically-mileaged broomies emerging at some unknown point in the future..... Actually I've just reacquainted myself with your first-ever post - several answers contained therein!
