Over the last 2 nights (working after baby  has gone to bed till around 10pm) I have got the new clutch installed and the engine back in and fully hooked up with water and electrics again. Last night was spent re-making electrical connections that got broke on engine removal, and re-installing the exhausts.

I didn't actually start the engine and tets the clutch as it was 10pm at the time and I would have woken the baby, and annoyed the neighbours. I'll see this evening after work if all the hard work has been worth it and the clutch operates again.

It had better do, I have a track day on Saturday!!!

hi i have been looking through you blog
a friend and i are looking at doing the same thing with a 318i bmw

im getting the prewelded chasis delivered to me after christmas and the parts gutted from the donor viehcle

i have a few questions you might be able to help me out with

my mate wants to use the steering compnents from the bmw i think it will be too wide even to cut down and power steering will be a pain
but escort and sierra parts are way too hard to get hold of in australia
do you think it will be possible

how did you fix your wishbone setup
