Well this went ahead with the engine swap.
Lifted the engine out of the car I bought, for a quick replacement to get me to FCS.

Originally I wanted to sell up the stage 2 bits but I've fallen in love with it again.
So I decided to tart up a few bits for FCS.

Anyone there who seen the grille will know how much of a mess it turned out lol. Gutted.
Done the slam panel..

And some engine bay parts.

Also picked up a clean set of 6 leathers, tidies it up inside somewhat & theyre more comfortable/supportive than the dturbo trim seats.

So the future will hopefully see the following;
- Strut brace
- non oem wheel
- some bodywork tidying
Then with the engine I took out I want to rebuild it with a bigger turbo and aim for 190+ hp.
- Its going to get a new HG kit with a skim and maybe a bit of home porting.
- New timing belt & pulleys with fresh waterpump
- Gt2052s turbo (want to stick - wastegate I think)
- MAYBE some better head bolts.
- And then sort a 2.5 - 3" exhaust setup.
