So nothing terribly exciting happened to the car this week, or last week. Or the week before, to that fact.

New engine hopefully in at the weekend.


But in the meantime, this happened;

For anyone who saw my garage before, it was a mess of crap piled up with a filing cabinet in the middle. Too hard to work properly in.

Much better now Rofl

Need to line the top with steel still, but it will do for now Big Grin

So spent this evening preparing for the engine change that is looming this weekend Dodgy

Cleaned and painted the seam welded subframe :

Before:

And after. Also chucked a coat on the bonnet badge as it needed freshening up:

Hoping my heat wrap will turn up for tomorrow, so I can get the spare manifold wrapped ready to go on.
Will nip to pug and get some gearbox oil, then am good to go Rofl

A Subaru would be all the win, would you be going AWD ?

Probably just RWD.

Tbf it's a new idea. Need to weigh up the possibilities.

Wouldn't be too bad to AWD if the RWD is going in I suppose.

Worth a laugh!

Yeah, you're right.

Believe it or not I got the idea watching ChopShop, where they cram a Scooby engine into a MK2 gold for Jonny Vegas.




The chassis legs on the scooby are a lot closer together than on a 306, so if anything, there will be loads of room width ways, as for length-ways, if I have to hack about the exhaust tunnel to get a transmission in, which i can't see being to bad, who cares?! lol

A series 1 impreza floor pan and wheel base is only ten mill out both ways, could be an interesting shell transplant , wiring and dash would be fun though
