Woooooooooooooooooooo! We're back again on this thread and with what we think is a
REALLY exciting update.
Ever since the piston rings went on the original engine we decided to continue in the route that the rest of the car has been done to, if we're doing the job, might as well do it to the fullist.
So we've been on full lock down, bread and water mode saving to get the money together for a full ass kicking engine rebuild.
All was going to plan (working massive amounts of overtime) when I got an MSN message from Moo saying he'd managed to negotiate a deal on an engine!!???
Without my knowing I'm now buying this little powerhouse from andy at GDI which I think will more than do the job.

So, up early this morning and off across country in the bumpy bumpy saxo to put down a deposit and discuss when the engine will be ready for collection etc.
When we arrived the bodies had been removed so we could get an idea of the headwork thats gone into this engine and I must say it looks awesome!
Inspired by that we bounced our way back to the garage and gave the Clio a damn good spit and polish as it was still covered in the remnance of the previous engine
That done it was time to tuck it away and head home to begin stockpiling money.
Watch this space!!
