[Djw Dave]

More strippage done today Pics another day though

Not much left to come out now.

Wheres my grinder? :evil:

 

[dale-boy]

how u going about engine mounts m8

 

[Djw John]

We'll be using the ones from the 16v engine. Its not so much an engine swap as a complete reshell tbh.

Every bit of wiring bar the boot and doors is being swapped over. Mainly so all the dials and immobiliser work. Doesnt take long to get a dash out and back in tbh.

 

[teabag]

u got PAS in the ph3 shell?

im not running PAS on my RT valver and need to know what i gotta do to get the alternator running without the pas pump

do i use the alternator bracket and aux belt off a non pas non ac rsi?

 

[Djw John]

Dunno mate we're gonna be keeping the PAS, prob worth starting a new thread here and on clio16valver

 

[Djw Dave]

Ok peeps just a wee quicky.

Stripped out the front door cards, but put a few bits in for the time being.

Removed the roof gutter covers

Added my funcky orange TOW sticker (more orange to come)

Also fitted my freshly smoothed and painted tail gate and ph2 rear bumper. The tailgate isnt 100% perfect, but at the end of the day it is a WIP track car so you wont see it when i put it in th kitty litter at knockhill

Gave it a quick wash and its FIRST polish!

As per comments welcome.
