it takes me more then 2 days to assemble the Clio, but it's turning out great! I am convinced that this will be one of the nicest Clio's in Belgium
Pics will follow as soon as the car is fully ready

thanks guys i finished building the engine. The manifolds and other bolt ons must come from the old engine. I polished the valve cover. I hope Laurenz (my son) likes it. Took me several hours. I would like to put the engine in by the end of this month. started to polish a little piece it didn't work out like its supposed to, so i wetsanded the cover with paper 2000 and then polished it with commander 5 and then with fine finishing polish

The engine is in! I worked, together with my brother and son, 2 days to get in in. I think that when renault designed this thing they took an engine and builded the car around it First test drive has been made and it is VERY promosing. It pull's like a mad man. Tomorrow the cars ecu is going to be remapped. I will put the dyno results here. I think it will have +160 hp on crank and + 140 on the wheels
