[Djw John]

terribleclio, this is a second engine! The one thats been painted will be put in when money allows, its practically brand new now!

 

[terribleclio]

[Djw Dave]

Yes. Was getting bored of the car so thought i would liven it up a bit

 

[Giles]

Looks good John

Can that volvo engine fit in mk2 clios?

 

[Djw Dave]

Yup it can but the problem is the wiring! Bit of a slow day so far, hopefully get more done this afternoon
