here is a list of things that need doing:

Re-fit valves (re-lapping done)
Rebuild head
Fit new clutch
Re attach gearbox
Change wiring loom from an r19 one to a clio one
Remove 1.2 engine and box
change springs to valver front springs
Remove Driveshafts
Fit valver driveshafts
Change engine mounts
change clutch cable
change accelerator pedal
Fit new HT leads
Fit valver engine in
wire into oil dials
replace alarm wires (looks like a 5 year old was let loose)
change fuel pump

all this is aiming to be done and me drive away by sunday night startign at about 7 pm friday night with 2 of us doing it!

sounds like a good script to me! when the bank balance has less of a minus figure i will definately have to come up to your private test track and give it some abuse :wink:

conversion has suffered a temporary setback as the 19 engine i'm using has a different cambelt cover which i need to get, also i need an alternator bracket to run my manual rack which i will sort out too so its postponed for a few weeks at least!

Man you're lucky your not like me because that would drive me bonkers?

yeah it really pissed me off! i was thinking about buying a valver with a snapped cambelt and taking the bits i needed off of the bent engine and making a good done out of 2 and using the valver shell, then i decided that i only need to put another £80ish in and it should go in
