Im very excited as thigs are finaly taking shape!  Just cant wait to do that "first start" 

Anyway here are some piccys of the 16v conversion...  Seing that 16v engine in my little 1.4 just makes me grin

good luck mate, hope it all runs well for you..
gotta ask though... youre not lifting the engine by the inlet manifold are you...?

[LazyLunatic]

oooooooooooooo

coming along nicely!

are you not tidying the engine and engine bay up, or is just a straight swap?

Cant wait to get the 16v alive again i guess, haha!


project boost still going ahead?

No i lifted the engine by the lifting eye and wrap arround the gear box but i put it through the maifold just incase the others snaped.  Would rarther have a broken manifold than two broken legs 

I will be cleaning it all up, that starts today    but i only have the hoist on rent for another day so needed to get it in asap.

cant wait to see it when its all cleaned up and in action!!

I think you should def give it a good clean before you drop it in..
