Part #2, the creative one.
The first mistake is that I didn't take away the engine. I would not say that it hindered me a lot, sometimes even it helped, as it was easy to see how the transmission and the engine step by step took its places. But, all the way, it would be cozier.
The technology is simple: from the wooden timber, I made kind of slip and then followed the simple plan: one should fix the body to escape moving and to decide where to press, to pull and to hold. The backside of the car I fixed in the corner, concreted in the floor, and pulled it with winch (for you to know, 8 tons is not enough, as I rended the winch later), across the car I pushed with 2 hydraulic jacks of 8 and 2 tons.
Advice: if (God forbid!) you ever have to do such things, you should always reckon, as e.g. in case the chain, that holds the winch breaks, where the winch will be thrown off. That's why you should be insured against such cases. What for me, I tied up the rope with climbing line, and for the winch, I made an insuring loop. None of these was in waste, as ropes, chains and hardware broke for several times.
Generally, you may see everything on the photos, there is even nothing to describe…
