The only parts that won't be new on the rear beam will be the anti roll bar end plates as they are a ridiculous amount from Peugeot so today I sand blasted the old ones and gave them a dusting of black paint  It's bloody hot out side so I think its time to chill out with a few beers in my bargain £20 swimming pool lol  |

Thanks guys The clutch should turn up tomorrow so all being well I can mate the gearbox back to the engine at the weekend as I went and picked up my clutch arm bush's today along with 3 bottles of gearbox oil. Hopefully I should have the engine and box fitted to the car by mid next week and then it's loads of little jobs like making the fuel lines, mounting the ecu box, catch tank etc Iv still got loads to do |

After some much appreciated help from Rich W yesterday the engine and box are now together The re padded clutch arrived back on Friday very happy with the service and price from helix After Rich left I fitted the engine loom and started adding some braided line  Was going to fit the engine to the car today but after replacing the gear selector rod split bearing that I got from bearingboys and trying it on the selector arm ball iv decided that I want a new arm as I still have a bit of play between the two. First thing tomorrow I will be ringing Peugeot and fingers crossed they will have one in stock I should then be able to fit the engine and start making the braided fuel lines from the bulk head to the fuel rail I can also make the lines for the charger oil system Fingers crossed I should get the beam back from lynx Tuesday so then I can get the car on the ground and see how the rear wheels sit in the archs |

Well what a s**t day, Peugeot don't have the selector arm and won't have it in until Wednesday Got a few little bits done today though, I have now run the wires for the fuel pump, fitted the an fittings for the fuel rail but can't do the other ends for the bulk head until the engines in. I then decided to make a carbon panel to hide/cover the injectors and wiring  I really should be more prepared when it comes to buying parts that I need, iv had 2 years after all lol Iv got a company coming round tomorrow to fit the windscreen... |

Just want it finished now but don't see the point in rushing it for it to be ready for the winter! I could have finished it a lot earlier if I planned getting things made etc along time ago but that's just the way it goes It's been over 2 years but to be fair iv had weeks on end not touching the car and also over 8 months out the country. Thanks for all the comments and support |

Someone really doesn't want me to finish this project Got the new pivot arm but either the bush's are wrong or the arm is wrong Well that means the engine isn't getting fitted this weekend And to make things worse work have persuaded me to go out to Afghan again in a few weeks to strip the aircraft down to bring them home so that's another few months of not being able to get the car finished |
