here we go!!

Do you need to take the body off before installing the pans?

Got it, will do and thank again for the info. Going to try and get some pics up tonight before I start pulling things apart!!

Awesome, thanks for the help! so I have a 1980 FF and a 1973 vw engine. This is all new to me so this is probably a stupid question but where do the engines come from? Are they from used donor cars or are they new or rebuilt engines??
