Some garage time again, after some time doing other unnecessary things :)

Long story short I got the rear main seal installed, flywheel and clutch.

Next up is the starter before I mate the engine to the transmission.

Great work, and thanks for the pic that will help me as I need to change my clutch too...
Did you find all the necessary torque?

I torqued the flywheel, but found no mention of a torque spec for the clutch itself, so I just did it by feel.

Come to think of it, I need to check the four bolts that fix the transmission to the engine...

I guess the bracket for the diagnostic socket is in the wrong place.

Summer came unexpectedly early, and I’ve been occupied doing everything apart from working on the car.

Got a little session in today, and installed some water pipes and treated some minor frame surface rust.

Next step is installing the whole engine ! Exciting.

Trying to start the engine is going to be too exciting to bare...

Ok, time to brag! Today I did this. All by myself. In approximately 20 minutes. Without ruining or scratching anything.

I could hear a sigh of relief as the frame once again took the weight of the familiar PVR.
