Well the other day was pistons n rods together...
Today spent a couple of hours on the block, crank in, pistons n rods in...
then spent another couple of hours on the Dash Loom taking the pugs from the Dash 2 and mating them up to a 24 pin M/F plug making it easier to fit
after that had tea and watched Doctor Who

Bit of an update
Ive been fannying back and forth for some time on whether or not to sell up or keep going
money ran tight after being out of work for too long, so now im back at the grind stone again i feel im at a better place for this to actually finish
So tonight after having my last fling with a Clio Cup 1?2 on the way home.... I do really love whooping on kids
I decided its time to put the car up on stands and start the stripping......
Nope, not to sell up, but to finally finish of this engine and get it in
so over the next couple of days the old faithful stock bottom with the lad head n cam will come out
and in will go the new engine, clutch and box ive been building, parting out, selling over the last couple of months...
Going to strip everything back and give it a good clean and a lick of paint
change some of the wiring
re do a couple of bits and bats that need some maintenance
and all being well start it up some time early next week to start mapping, well give or take a few days when the wife finally pops the young one out 9 days late n counting....
