Loving the 'fit the new engine in the dark because I can't wait' shot :lol:

he he, fair play to you chap, did you get the ECU and everything with that lump?

Are you having a 'wolf in sheeps clothing' or are you going to bling it up?

Good to see you addressing the brakes, what about the rears? discs??

Make sure you stiffen the chassis with better springs/shocks/strut brace/anti roll etc etc.

Sounds cold to say so, but I see this car visiting a roadside ditch or tree in its future.

Don't you know Renault make the safest cars? :P

But yeah I can see what you mean and I haven't overlooked anything. The chassis is being fully seam-welded for added strength and the brakes and suspension will be uprated accordingly.

While I'm here I've got a fair few pics to add since the first post but here's a few from yesterday:
