Just thought I would let you know I have had a good day fitting my engine in .It now feels like a car and not just a shell.
The time passes by so quick when putting all the bits and pieces back on.Got bloody cold though !.
A big thankyou to my mate Justin who has put a lot of time and effort in making this happen.
As you can see a lot of work to do with the pipes !

Cheers matey, Have now finished all the piping and electrics.
Had to remove the down pipe as a nut and a copper washer fell down it .
So did it start ?
YES
Here is a pic all done although I am going to get the injectors cleaned or replaced
