the engine arrived this week so i decided to get it round to my shed little did i know its heavier than a valver lump anyway me and a couple of others managed to get it round to my shed heres a couple of pics enjoy

got the loom disconnected not very happy with this theres tons of plugs doing nothing and house hold flex has been used to connect the loom and as some of you may know it cannot hold ampage like car cable can anyway spageti junction

and got my valver gearbox mount on


24/03/2009
right finally got the looms sorted out and tarted up pics to follow of them when i drop the engine in which if i can source an rsi top mount and valverturbo come thought with the delivery of the remaining bits

right after figuring out that the williams runners have slightly different fixing holes for the seats to bolt to i had to remove the dreaded valver ones from underneath as we all know they go rusted as feck but came off sweet so while i was there i got rid of the gash heat sheild and removed the gear shifter and got the boot tidied out ready for the sound deadening to be removed enjoy

they are so comfortable and drivers has adjustable height and lumbers sweet like arm chairs


short shifter fitted and will be fitting the other piece to the gerabox end

15th september 2009
right after a small trip to mat browns picking up some rockers i aslo got a bargain on a fibreglass bonnet skin is very thin has a few holes from prvious bonnet pins and a about 10million pin prick holes from where the mould wasnt the best but ow well im very happy (cheers mat) anyway ive started work on it as i want it on for pod amoungst my wheels ect
Holes fibreglassed up and ive patcheed them quite thick as this is where the bonnet pins will be refixed so needs to be thick

There was a small hole in the bonnet scoop i wont be running it as its extra weight but will still have the bulge


carbon look is going for matt black





Ive given it a full miss coat of primmer to show up every lump and bumps

let the filling commence


stripped

also they fitted valver arb suspension and wishbones to the dimsel which was nice

colour to be decided but im going for something out of the ordinary
Had a small delivery also of my new intercooler pipe work and connections


And finally got a flange to fit my new blower off a nissan 200sx will have to be fabricated as if i was to fit it like it is it would be sticking through the bonnet nice



Got the whole subframe degreased with a good brush and washing up liquid then decided to lighty sand the whole thing and get rid of the rust in a few place where it had it and gave it a coat of kurust and allowed to dry for about 30mins



after that ive given it a good coat of red oxide this stuff is awsome and gives it a great surface for painting and is an excellent primer

Loving the build dude, keep it up, some hard graft going into that

[Kenobi]

Great thread!!!!

Sorry to say this but this is exactly what my clio is. Just my clio looks like ive saved it from the scrapper.

Quick question.

You mentioned the willy seats didnt bolt str8 in. Can you elaborate? as i have the same interiorto go in.

[reevio]

you need the willy seat runners as they wont boltto the clio runners

[Kenobi]

you need the willy seat runners as they wont boltto the clio runners

What do they look like exactly?

I think they maybe actually on the bottom of the seats I have.

Oh and how did you get the sticky sound deadening stuff off the floor of the car?

[gtmatt]

very nice project who did your wheels ??

also what have you done with all the valver bits ??

i am after some parts for mine pm us what u gt if you are selling anything thanks matt

keep up the good work

[reevio]

the seat runners are identical to the clio ones but the bolt spacing is different as for the sound deadening heat gun or turbo torch and white spirit ow and i do all the polishing my self takes a while but looks great
