Ordered some bits for the Dope, because you know when you have one car in bits with the engine missing you should work on the other one too..... (ive got a Renault Twingo mk2 that im currently trying to shoe horn a renault megane 2.0ltr turbo engine into..)
New exhaust parts and pipe ordered up to replace the sieve like box that's on there at the moment, Ill be trying to make one that sits across the back of the car, a longer smoother run with a slightly bigger bore. Im not expecting anything but a nicer noise though may help further down the line if i ever slap a cam in, bump the compression and fit a decent carb.
Next up was some gear selector bushes, or silentblocks as they are called. Back when I built the car I solid mounted the linkage, I'm pikey and it worked..... If I hit a decent bump in the road it will knock it out of gear though, new rear engine mounts and the Rover V8 gearbox mounts have stiffened everything up back there quite abit so I think I need to add some cushion back in to stop this happening.

Hopefully if everything turns up in a timely manor that's my next weeks entertainment
