Mick the guy who runs RSC (and owner of an ex 19 16v BTCC car) is building my new lump.
Bought as a runner with 142k on it from a megane coupe. We decided that it was ready for a rebuilt, as you can see it was gettin ready:

decided to use the megane head, had a complete rebuild, with new valves, stem seals etc. all decoked and put through the parts cleaner, now just needs machining to fit the 16v dizzy and the 16v cams should fit, which are slightly wilder than the megane ones apparently.

Put back together loosely for now, while it was in bits the block was painted up with hammerite metallic black, hammered finish, looks fookin ace in the flesh.
Of course new bearings and rings being fitted too next week, Micks been polishing the pistons up to a super shine too :D
