^ PAH!
Right this started at 11am, Bay/car looked like this
Jacked it up, Looks real low on the back
Then by 1PM it was like this
Then, By six it was like this
It looks messy and it hasn't been cleaned etc at all yet, But that is for good reason, Its not in for long at all, Car comes off the road soon, And then I'm going mental on the car 
Will be finished tomorrow.
Proof I Can do a conversion in a weekend!

Sean - Not going to be at trax  , Car will be off the road by then
Dan - I try to do things as quick as poss, this one was uber quick as tbh I'm just throwing it together for a really short amount of time on the road. Loom between x14 and x16 is the same yeah so just used my complete loom that I shortend etc for the old 1.4.
Scott - Always said I would, Just didn't think it would be this quickly
Well in true form, I'm not hanging around...
So yeah, Had another couple of hours on it, Got it running as you've seen, That was the first proper start, previously it just fired once or twice. Loads of stuff to sort out yet tho!
This pic shows how bad the bay is I hated putting it together like this But needs must.
I wanted to get it mostly finished tonight and take it for a drive but I forgot to put the clips on the heater matrix pipes and It seems I didn't put one of the CV's in properly, Tried to move it forward but got nowhere
Will be done tomorrow, And I'll be taking it for a drive.

Running properly this morning, Just not long back from a drive.
If I had worked a bit longer on it or been working faster, woulda been a single day conversion.
I'm happy with it, Still want more power though

Sadish day, This comes off the road tomorrow, Going to miss it. The 1.6 is a improvement over the 1.4 but its not enough
Its just as well its coming off the road TBF, Its got a few issues, One of them being a sticky front brake .
I can't wait to get into this though, Going to start stripping it in the evenings this week and hopefully have it ready to work on next weekend.
I also, strangely can't wait to put the speedlines on the 12v and drive that around, It's always been a fun car to drive.
This won't be seeing the road again this year
