    Our Youngest was sick today so I had to stay home and do babysitting and errm Land Rover duties.
    I pulled the engine out after much struggilng with some very dodgy engine mounts. If I had wanted to keep the Holden motor I would have had to redo all the engine mounts anyway as they were decidedly lacking. The Passenger side one only had one loose bolt holding it onto the block which was just as well as I would have needed the angle grinder to get it off.
    Anyway, some more pictures below.

    Got the Gurney out as well, I love the way those alloy cases come up.



    The engine bay minus the 186


    The drivers side mount is OK


    Passengers side not so happy


    The sheer artistry in the Holden engine mounts, the nut for the engine mount bolt was in the middle of the triangular shaped bit with varying degrees of access.




    Oh, and the piece of tyre sidewall was the rubber engine mount for the passenger side

    Regards,

    Tote

    Love those shiny bits. Send that GMH lump back to where it belongs - an old Holden!

    Some more work done, removed the guards and cleaned all the "improvements" off the passengers side engine mount.

    Guards off



    A couple of pictures of the remains of the passenger side engine mount.

    Well after a couple of weeks of work and fishing trips I've made some more progress.

    I removed the top from the modified front crossmember




    And I made and welded in a new passenger's side engine mount.
    Before


    After




    Geraldine in the shed and the D3 in the rain, I think it makes perfect sense.....
