Yeah fill your boots on the ramp can do loads with them will be in contact soon with pics
 
There's no need to lift the body off the chassis to change the engine. It can be pulled out the front, once the front panels are out the way. ;)
Is it actually worth changing the engine on a 2005 RRS. If you are spending £3K+ on an unknown replacement engine, is it really worth it?
It would be more cost-effective to part it out and look for another that doesn't need major surgery.
