This evening I attempted to put the coolant hoses in place, but it is quite a pain to get the clamps on near the subframe. I was afraid of that, that is why I started this job now (with the suspension out of the way and previously also the subframe). 2 of them are on easily, the other 2 are not willing to cooperate.

It doesn't help that I just have regular pliers to do the job. Good for most clamps, but these are so tight and akward to reach that I'll get myself one of those remote hose clamp pliers. These should also lock in the open clamp position so I can get them in place more easily. Hopefully that gets me further in this. Really like to get the front together by the end of the month, but a busy weekend and a business trip make this unlikely now.
