Engine is out!!

Today I managed to hoist the engine out of the car, that's a big step toward getting stuff done. I was hoping to put the engine on the stand, but ran into a snag... It appears that the torx bolts that hold the pressure plate on to the flywheel are stripped, and unless the pressure plate is taken off, the stand won't bolt to the back of the engine...

But that, literally is a story for another day (hopefully one where I've figured out how to get said stripped bolts off! ;-) )
