Thanks for all the comments everyone. Gives me more reasons to get it finished. 
Few pictures of some bits I've been doing, I lost my camera for 2 weeks so there a bit all over the place.
Started stripping the engine out off the other shell.
Rust treated and painted the rear beam.
Got my Spal fan back off a friend that I gave it to when I wasn't going to be using it anymore.
Much lighter than the s**tty standard one.
Relocated the Charge cooler tank and cleaned up the welds as I looked like a blind chimp had made it, Going to get it powder coated black then it should look Ok
Cars a bit dusty and scratched already from all the grinding, cutting and welding, But I'm going to redo the engine bay gloss black along with the interior once I've trail fitting the engine. Also going to change the rooting around of the water pipes.
Some off the welding
Looks a bit s**t in places but it's really hard to get the grinder the tight angles to smooth it off, not too worried as It will be covered up by the thick under seal.
That's it, I've took more pictures on my phone but the Photobucket app isn't working atm.
The new target is to get it running ready for the road by the end of the month. :/

Keep it going mate,you will only look back and wish you had finished,esp with all the hard work that's gone in to it so far.Looks great by the way,my brother had a new tungsten r5 when they first came out,used to drive it all the time,awesome cars.
Time for an update,
Took the engine out a couple of weeks back, borrowed a crane as I've taken the winch down.
Wouldn't normally jack on the sub frame but it was guna be scraped anyway.
Bought a OMP steering wheel of a mate that I've nagging to sell to me for nearly a year, well pleased with it just needs a Lifeline group N boss.
Finally this afternoon took the clutch off and chucked the engine on the stand,
Not really done a lot else other than messed about with the new daily, put a new head gasket on and replaced and few other seals, just waiting on another carb gasket then It will be back on the road.
Can't complain really it was free. Plan is to run it to work so I can put everything into getting the Renault on the road.

a mini for FREE! thats ace there fetching some cash now days! loving the 5 as well. Got a real soft spot for them.
Agreed it was a real windy day while getting used to a new welder. I sore someone else had done it that way and it stopped it just blowing a whole every cm, grinding it back so you will never see it.
Yeah was alright, don't think this will be worth much. Hopefully getting a 172 cup of a friend to use a winter daily.
Picked up a set of Polycarb windows, Fitted the rear already but not sure what I'm going to do with the front and sides as I want to convert to campas rears.
