ok heres a quick midnight (nearly) rundown
remove all underbody plastic
i dropped both the brackets for the hand brake cable and just let them hang a little out of the way i then unbolted ac line and just pulled it out of the way as its quite flexible (no need to lose gas not that i have any anyway)
then i removed the water pipe and kicked it out from under the car
now the only things left n the way are two fueltank brackets
these need to be removed to get the line in so th tank needs to be supported mine was empty so i didnt need this i just did oneat a time
first i completly removed the front one
then the hard part is getting the frontof the pipe into the frunk area
it was mainly hard as i was alone and the front wheels were on the ground still so i couldnt get my head that far under
once i got the pipe up there i bolted it to the other line so it couldnt fall back down
then just move your way back installing the clips
when i got to the rear fuel tank mount i reinstalled the front mount and then just took one bolt out of the back one and slid it under
then do the last couple of brackets and link to clutch hose
then reverse yourself and put everything back
things i would do different
1. lift front too or just lift one side
2. drain waterpipes first i was lying in a pile of water for far too long
3. get a hair cut first as my hair keeps getting stuck in the creeper wheels
4.get someone not useless to help even just to guide the front of the line through the right space
other things that have since gone wrong are
1. when i raised the engine into place it cought one of the shift cables and bent the end which broke off trying to straighten it (luckily i got given some new shift cables and hand brake cables for free from someone wrecking one who doesnt know whats worth money so i have a spare)
2. i installed the water hoses before i remembered to adapt the auto wiring to the manual box (i woudl have idealy done that out of the car but my ad called the other day and said i need my engine crane back tomorow arvo so i was rushed to install it)
so far that all thats gone wrong so will keep u posted if anything else goes wrong
