So does that mean then that I have to destroy the rocker cover in order to get it off?? If I have to then so be it but I may try some gentle persuasion tomorrow

Keep this thread alive champ as I was toying with the idea of going down the same path as you are. Thats a fine example you've acquired there mate, mmm tuxedo black.
Had a look at a sinful looking red one but it was auto, not what i wanted, the manuals are rarer. Made the choice they were going to be too hard to live with in the long run after researching owners feedback on parts atainability.

Ye but I want an auto, the F6 and the Z are both manual and I just want a car that I can drive and relax in, the XW is an auto as well but that won't be ready for a while yet. I do like the red, and to be honest it may well have made a nice Super Tourer replica LOL.

Their was a guy selling a white wagon on ebay with a blown bottom end, I offered him $2K, he had it started at $3500 but didn't get one bid. He made me laugh though quoting an American bottom end at $3500, forgot to mention that was US$ LOL so by the time you convert it it's the same (more actually) as a complete new motor locally, granted though that was for a performance nottom end.
