Nope!

 

its all out atm. had to remove it to remove the connector block for the loom (behind the wiper motor) the other side is the intake to the blower which was already removed.

    To give you a idea of what's left in the fabia there is a steering column, the pedals and a handbrake. Everything else is gone.

    Would be interesting to weigh the car before and after fitting the engine.

    Definitely run the minimum amount of fuel required :p add just enough for each run, that will keep the weight down.

    will the weight of the driver be an issue ? will someone need to go on a strict slimming regime ?

    Hence the reason the bet over getting the car sub 1,000kg is excluding the driver. ;)
