i have often sold / brought cars minus gearbox only and ratchet tie down the harmonic balancer to the front sway bar to keep it level and the Dizzy from smashing and the engine ripping off the rubber mounts.

The x2 exhaust manifold flange bolts are easier to do when the engine has been running and are hot. - they squeek and squeel but WD 40 does the trick.

Don't forget a new top hat rubber for your dipstick tube! - these sometimes are not in the kit.

you may want to put the original mushroom trans vacc modulator on the shelf and get an adjustable one, they make the T400 work so nice, especially 20- 30 Km/h through roundabouts with your 2.78 diff.

have you got your RS caps yet??? you have to glue the lion onto the cap when you get home. Surely there are better iones around. I have a set 18 months old are are already pitting.

it would be nice to work on a car so original...
