Yep, well it's off the road just now. I think it needs a new starter motor among some other stuff... Sigh. Been off the road for more than 3 weeks. I only had it 2 weeks and it broke down.

I plan to spray my bumpers and arches when i get some dry weather. Listen to that dam rain! Hopefully they will turn out ok. If i ever figure out how to get them off

Well I though i may as well tell yous what engine is in it. Once i blew my 1.2 up, I never really replaced it with another one

I got offered a 1600 16v with blown head gasket, stripped ready to be built for £50 quid! Bargin so I took it!

Set about building it up and painting it :









Once it was built it was time to get it in and running :



Had a few small teething problems with it but nothing major! All in it took 2 days to build the engine back up and get it running

Got it RR'd last Saturday, 110.5BHP 112lb.ft of torque! Not bad for a 50 quid engine!

On sunday night I put the diff out through the gearbox tho

so will get more progress pics once I start to do the box!

Little update.

Seen as the gearbox is fucked, ive decided to rebuilt the engine as well because the piston rings are away on it and I have been putting off doing them for ages!

Also a pic of my slightly illegal tyres :O And my dirty wheels which I am just gonna go clean right now













Didnt get much progress done in removing the engine





More tomorrow hopefully

If anyone cares

Removed and stripped the engine today after my work!! Hopefully get the head skimmed and gaskets, shells, and rings ordered up tomorrow!!



Dont think this broken earth on the loom would be helping much . . .



Its out!



Empty space from below,



On the stand





On the stripdown











Nice!











The head off and turned around ready to remove the sump







Back round the right way



And a wee shot of thw workshop for tonight



Thats all, hopefully more tomorrow!
