Looks like you have had a run in with that famous earth moving contractor, Phil and his unreliable mate Con Pacshin. [emoji57]
He will need to get the other two in , Con Pacright and Phil McCrackin
Pretty easy to do, I needed to drop the tie rod off and have car up on chassis stands to get the axle hanging as far down to get the sump between the cross member.
Also needed to loosen the front coolant hose metal section and the auto lines and tied them clear of the front of the sump.
Replacing sump gasket I put it up on the block first, did the sealant across the rear main seal and front timing cover and then used some small cable ties in every second hole to hold the gasket in place.
Pretty sure there's a heap of tutorials on here, I've read a few used some of the tricks mention to make it easier.
Also used the cardboard template trick to number each bolt as removed then used that to do the correct tightening procedure as per RAVE
