   I've had a little search for a guide or things to look out for and what not, but how easy it to remove the front slam panel, then take the engine out from the front of the car instead of going over the top of the slam panel??
   
   Any advice would be much apprichiated

   Thanks mate. Yes my car is totally stripped at the front, other than radiator and fan, but I can see they are easily removable.
