Update - Temporary Engine Begin!

On a spur of the moment budgeting session and a quick call around to some friends, I've managed to source most the bits to get the car running with a temporary setup while I build the 2.0 monster.

Today I went to Essex to fetch a few bits.

Picked up a 50K 1.6 SE (although its burning oil) complete with gearbox, loom, ECU, key, airbox, manifold etc etc. I also picked up some gear linkages from MarkyMark off here on my way home



Yesterday Ed dug out a radiator which I then stole, and a Cat and down pipe.



Ben kindly sent these to me for a good price,



and I put them on the car to make me feel like I wasnt far away :laugh:



I made a start on the loom but it was getting cold, dark and I was hungry. So I gave up at this point.



All for now.
