Well 2 days of grafting by myself and Jo, things were behind schedule, woke up this morning feeling particularly rough, but the show must go on. Things were going slow, but CJ to the rescue. I am sure he only popped round for a quick nosey, or maybe a quick help, but thankfully he pretty well, with a little help from Jo and I, swapped engine, gearbox , front end mechanicals over.

A big thank you to Chris, and his wife who has had to spend most of today without him. You are a star.

The results:

Well another day, felt even worst than yesterday, but Steve_PPP to the rescue then a hile later CJ, along with my long suffering Wagon_Jo, we finally got the wagon stripped and bits ready to put in the Bitzer.

I certainly under estimate the time involved, but due to the fantastic people on this forum we have pulled through.

So whats next?.......... I'm having a rest, just a bit of tinkering now and again for the next few weeks. I havent had a quiet relaxing weekend for a while and the house is looking a bit neglected.

Thanks chaps, a curry is on me soon.

Excellent stuff.

Just let me know when you get to the "making a cuppa and taking the piss" part of the project, as that's where I can really add value. Until then, useless!

No progress today, now at home with fever and feeling damn knackered. Really wanted to go to work and earn some much needed project funds, though I have been deciding about looks on the car. Against Jo's opinion, I am not loving the Morretes and prefer a crystal facelift headlamp with matching side lights, opinions please. I will keep Morretes for if I decide to change back.

CJ suggested. Flipping the intercooler so outlets at top and also sides would follow contours of bumper, so may try this for size over next few days. Along with reversing inlet manifold as I am very limited on intercooler pipe routing space due to tubbed arches.
Need to get newage steering column in, getting car in and out of garage is getting challenging, as if the extra weight hadn't caused enough issues.

Gotta say I like the morrettes - especially in black as I think it keeps with the theme... But each to their own

Taking them apart is easy... it's putting them back together that would cause me the issue!

Well car funds at all time low at the moment so not much going on, though a sale of some parts has allowed me to purchase some new crystal headlamps and sidelights, so pics once fitted will be up once they arrive.

Well now completed side and front light transformation, haven't done indicators in bumper yet as the bumper is still on probationary time, not sure if I feel the love for it yet, but do like the idea that it is probably a lot lighter than standard bumper.

From the photo below, a few keen eyes may have spotted that a while back a silver boot and P1 spoiler got fitted, i have also now trial fitted some standard side skirts which i like, so will get them rubbed down and trial painted for my potential colour idea. Door trim/seals are now being sourced and trial fitted so I can then get onto my next part of Lexan side windows ordering and installing.

Newage steering column is in, but along with engine and some other bits going to come back out and car hopefully shipped back to Nickson motorsport for some mods to the cage that they originally built, basically a dash bar and front turret ties, along with maybe a couple of other bits.

I now decided to probably install a newage dash as i decided i can live with the extra weight for the benfit of looking a bit nicer to my eyes and also slightly more useful.

Car won't get any paint on other parts until I finally decide if I am keeping black or going for another colour.

Main project parts for me to sort out next is get rear subframes, diff etc swapped over after getting probably my newage stuff powder coated, then rear bumper replaced with standard item as currently has "ground effects". Also I would like to get some wheels on there, I have sort of chosen what I want, though driven mainly by sizes and offsets.

Anyway car is starting to look like a Scoob again.

ok, i'll keep the black and orange theme. I am thinking maybe do inside orange as mainly black at moment and looks very dark. Then black on outside with orange wheels, intercooler, maybe grill mesh.

maybe then do rear p1 spoiler orange with black bottled and not sure but orange side skirts?

not sure if it will work or not, definitely a race car only colour scheme.

Not a fan of black and orange but you already know that 😁
Main thing is everything you do on the project is what you want and not what others want 👍

Bloody panda brothers!

I like the black and orange, as I think black with a striking colour works well. Bright green, pink, red or blue would also look good.
