I swear whoever designed my Celica was a moron :/

Removing the radiator should be oh so simple, it's only held on by 2 clips and has 3 hoses and a thermostat thing attached to it.

Except that to undo one of the hoses at the radiator end you have to remove the plastic guard at the bottom of the car.
You have to remove the fans as well, but in order to remove one of them you have to undo the fusebox.

So what seemed like a "remove some clips, undo hoses and slip it out", has turned into a full workout this morning

I still have to fit my brand new radiator, which despite being OEM for my car has an extra hose attachment

Only replacing rad and so on so that I can sell the car at some point in the next few months and get an MR2 again :/
