right got finally started work on the clio got some pics but basically got the engine out and now waiting for the volvo one to arrive cheers
painted hoist black
lovely cam belt
notice how hig the front sits with no engine in it
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

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
anyway had a day off today due to man flu so cracked on and started to strip the car naked for fcs enjoy
and bad light has stopped play for now any way il be running starndard volvo turbo etc for fcs and stripped out interior as ive no welder ect to do my cage again and dont want to mess it up this time will be making some custom dash housing for the gauges etc and switches and stripping lots of wiring out thats not needed
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
heat sheild
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

Came home to find that my rsi top mount had been delivered so thought it would be rude not to get it mounted and get the engine in place for temporary as ive got the exhaust to sort ect still heres some pics enjoy

In she goes running rsi top mount with valver rubber ect so i can still put the power steering reservoire in the same place clipped in
And a couple of pics from the scaffolding that is currently round the old garage thats getting rebuilt
