Cheers again for the deal smile.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

So thats it.

Got everything I need now, so theres no excusses.

Just need to get that engine in now then.

Think Im going to rent a winch for the weekend after next.

If anyone fancies putting round to give me a hand I wouldn't mind wink.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

"That'll be ?20 a day chap"

Ah good, so if I pick it up on Saturday and drop it off Monday that'll be ?20 then?

"Er..hum... aye ok then"

£20s a bargin.

Dont really mind paying it to save on the lifting.

We use them for hireing tools at work, s I may be able to lose the cost anyway TBH.

My mates coming round after work in the early afternoon, as a chap whos done some work for me in the past is coming round in the afternoon to try fix the bike so its gonna be all hand go lol

Can see the finishing post now.

Roll on the summer!

Dude, this car's gonna be crazy. Best of luck and hope it all goes well. So this means your 0-54mph will be slightly better than last time?!? The increased acceleration might even rip off the stainless steel door handles i sold ya!

Not a problem. After these bodies go on yours i might give it a go. Once i get a fecking gearbox anyway! Gettin my flywheel done at the same time. Might just put some cams, head work, exhaust & filter in and see where it goes. You got till e38 next year and i'll take you on! You might end up racing the convertible mind you, not that its 82bhp is gonna worry you!

Running will be great enough for me biggrin.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

So long as the imobilisor can be removed from the ECU I think it may be running for spring.

Think I may have found a buyer for the Renault, so that should pay for the mapping time needed.

Worst part to come though, gotta try and remember how to put it together again!

For the time being mate, manily because I cant remember how to put it together again enginein.jpg border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />

Forgot to add.

After fitting the engine, we realised the power steering pipe was behind the engine!

Removed the mount, lifted up the engine again and pulled the pipe round.

My mate was not best pleased lol

1.0

Just going to play with that one.

Theres only one plug thats diffrent.

Dont know what its for yet, but I think it wll easier to md my 1.0 look, than it would be to rewire the 1400 loom after the numpty who sold the egine cut it off instead of un plugging it at the bulk head!
