The pictures and texts are originally from a Danish threat, iv'e translated it and shortened it a bit... will update as the project progresses.. Hope you'll like it..This is 6 months of progress..
This is the story of a little blue GTE raider project. After a few long years of negotiating with a friend, i finally bought his standstill (engineless) project, (after promising him not to put a boy-racer snowplow front on it...)
Finaly 20th of april 2012 Im on my way to getting a the R5
On our way home, a pitstop at a Burger king
A light "wash" and clearing out the boot etc.

Bumper testfittede
Looks like a little car now
I started to strip the car
_____________________________________________
Rearend stripped:
Front subframe removed to test fit the new subframe.
Trying to keep track of every screw so they all go back in the same holes..
Bought a Clio RSI engine (110 hp) which is legal to put in. And it was cheap! Here wit the GTE gearbox..
With a bit of a ghetto crane the engine is on the original subframe for at testfit..
Ready to go in.. i would recommend everyone to take the engine out this was.. so much less effort and no risk of wrecking paintjob in engine bay
Engine in.. 23 minuts later, did it alone, with 2 jacks and some wooden blocks
Hole in one
Wireing loom
Removed a couple of obsolete cables from the clio loom, as the original sensor loom is there
Shortened, soldered, and splicede wit a bit of R5 loom.
Engine loom wrapped in plastic flex for a OEM look
11 th of may The panel beater repairing the window frame
The front had to go to.. there was a big cut out from an intercooler, which had removed the brackets for the front grille.
Test fitted the front after i put the new front on it..
