Well heres todays update, Im off for 2 weeks and the builders kick me out of bed at silly times of the morning so im getting alot of time to work on the car.
Here's some pics from before thought that i havent added,
Front Seats finally in:
Its this low without an engine:
I need to buy clocks badly
Anyway todays progress:
Removed bonnet, bumper and grill to make it easier putting the engine in:
Fitted Radiator an Fan:
Finished degreasin block and sump and greabox, gearbox came up well, and i treated it with this:
Will give it a second coat tomorrow possibly but i dont like the black, think i might redo it all silver apart from the sump. Ordered a big tub of silver hammerite aswell anyway.
Had to move the car right back to get the engine and engine crane in for tonight.
Was close to my toolbox:
made the garage a good bit bigger though.
More updates tomorrow

well todays progress. quite alot actually.
gman came round and we made a start fitting the engine.
While i was waiting on him arriving i made use of my time by detarring the fuel lines, the fuel tank and one side of the car
got the car up in the air:
the engine:
car meets engine:
all bolted in:
its this low without a bumper on:
 
It doesnt run yet coz i havent got the fuel pump off gregor yet, and it isnt bolted in fully because i lost the bolts that go through the gearbox mount into the chassis. Wee trip down to vauxhall tomorrow is required i think.
Need to sort something out with regards to a fan aswell as it wont fit when we put the manifold on, had to cut it off, lol.
More updates soon
