Hi all
its taken a while but at long last i have desided to get my freestyle back on the road ;D two years ago i had an idea to replace the 998cc with a 1300cc a+ metro engine & for those of you with good memorys had a few issues : i've eventually sorted all that & am attempting to fit the new one.
you all seem to make it seem so easy! i cant even get the subframe off :'( i've undone the two turret bolts & both the bolts through the subframe into the chassis & ive disconected all electrics /pipes/exchaust but it still wont come apart!! (im begining to think the cars got it in for me ;D) i've even taken the handbrake cables off which meant removing the seats to access the console screws.does anyone know what i've missed? there are 4 bolts (engine side) by where the handbrake & gears change rod go through but they look a right pain to get to & replace, do these also need to come out?
Thanks
Daz
