So I have finally sourced a garage to store the beast. As you can see it is rather tight, but the main thing is that it is both solid and dry. So for the time being it will do.
Engine cover off, let surgery commence;
I wouldn't advise removing the plenum when the engine is warm. I had a two minute drive in order to get to the garage so it wasn't overly hot. Still warm enough though!
I noticed that one of the bolts had minor signs of corrosion, anything to worry about? All of the other bolts were as new.
Plenum off and H-Dev spacer exposed. Will I require a new gasket to fit before reinstalling the plenum?
Had a bit of time to kill (waiting for collection) so decided to see what else I could remove and tart up whilst the plenum and throttle body are off being polished. Came up with these;
Time to wrap everything up and send off to Mark. I will also be including this, fingers crossed he can restore it;
