Busy day today ?

Made a start on removing the engine, going to remove all the suspension to and Stone chip the inner wheel arches.

Removed the remaining heater and air con bits from under the scuttle panel. 5.6kg in total, left 2 big holes going into the cabin so I’ve order some alloy to make some blanks. Sold my Megane pistons after reading about ringland problems, didn’t want to be doing everything twice so bit the...

Both cameras in, carbon steering wheel insert, helmet hammock in and first clean of the year.

Seats in, harness in, steering wheel on, wiring nearly finished, new foot rest fitted. Ignore the heater matrix rad down near the pedals it’s coming out with the engine.

Decided not to fit the flocked dash in the end, tidied the loom up instead so dash will be for sale soon. Cage went in, fitted a treat, subframes painted and fitted, 5/6 point mounts fitted. Hopefully get the last 2 harness mounting points in this week along with the seats and harnesses.

Front half now painted to, hopefully get the cage in at weekend if it’s dry enough.

Got the rear half of the car painted in Upol Raptor, hopefully get the front half done at weekend.

Harness bars in, whole thing rubbed down and etch primed.

I think I am guys, remind me Friday evening and I’ll confirm.

Good quality, there’s a lot of sellers charging 2-3 times the price for that brand on eBay. Your welcome to come have a look if you pop over with olle at some point.

I made a mistake I bought it off eBay, it’s this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Coolant-Expansion-Tank-Bottle-For-Renault-Clio-II-Kangoo-Thalia-Ref-7701470460/301151691108?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

I bought a coolant bottle other day, there only about a tenner for decent one from Euro’s

Removed the cage to make a start on the harness bars, don’t have a tube notcher so had to do it by hand, tacked them in place so I can check there in the right place before the final welds.

Bit more progress tonight, matched the meg pistons and rods as best I could. One of the wrist pins is tight on the rod so I’ll need to sort that out before anything else.

3” downpipe with 2.5” system, decided to only run 270hp for reliability. Standard master cylinder.

Sounds good to me :cool:
