[sander swinkels 8]

I bought a V6 al few weeks back..

In the UK.. Drove it home, and it ran perfect..

 

Here are some pictures of the NL-UK trip:

 

Departure @ Eindhoven (NL):

 

Rentalcar:

 

Arrival at 406 Coupe V6:

 

In the tunnel:

 

All in all a very long day, but very fun to do..

 

Meanwhile, the car almost completely dismantled.. And I can start installing the engine in the 309..

 

Eventually there would be something like this under the bonnet:

 

 

I have decided to use the upper engine mount support of the 406 Coupe.

I'll taking the XU engine support mount out ot it and weld the 406 V6 engine mount in there..

 

More updates soon..

Also bought some new parts.. White (the look orangje during the flashlight of the camera) front indicators

 

 

 

The front brakes from the 406 coupe.

 

 

205 Phoenix side skirts. These will be modified to fit. Difference in length is about 3 cm's.

 

 

 

Yesterday I recieved the following enginesupport....... (I have no idea what it's called).. So I can get started on the engine..

 

 

The V6 engine is still in the 406 Coupe, but that's about to change..

Yeah, another update.. Not about the engine, that's still sitting besides the car..

 

Yesterday I recieved a brand new original 309 GTi frontbumper..

 

 

Tadaaaaa... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

 

Couldn't resist myself, so I mounted the lights right away.. I also have the chrome strips brand new, so those will be mounted in a few days.. I can then say that the front bumper is already finished..
