Not this weekend, with jay killing the diesel I'm stuck without a car till the cavs finished. We're moving next week so will only be down the road. We'll have to arrange a day to come round and get it finished

Got a little more to update everyone on ..
Bought Generations hoses and gear linkage cheers mate quality lad
So I set about swapping bits off gear linkages
Just need to paint the rusty bits, the new short shift from mtec has got nylon bushes to stiffen everything up
Got my shiny new coilovers back 
And on ....
Notice no drive shaft due to the outer cv boot being slightly punctured so I replaced the boot and joint just to save hassle if the joint goes later on.
Bar the brake line the o/s is built up
Also got this that I've been searching for since god knows how long !
And some vacuum hoses
Just a quick question the leave here on my turbo no3 pipe has no where to go on the turbo as it's blanked off. eBay do I do with the hole out of the inlet manifold for it ?

Thanks mark ! The end is in sight kind of
Did a bit more on bank holiday
The coolant pipe to the back of the turbo was loose as I tried fitting it when the turbo was on, turned out it was miles easier taking the turbo off
Whilst I was messing about with the turbo I saw fit to change the turbo oil feed hose
I had these from generation aswell. 3 way water pipe and my icv pipes.
and on
Hopefully going to get a custom header tank made. Can't find a bailey header tank

***So a little update 21/10/14***
Spent a lot of money on this over the past few weeks and it doesn't seem to be progressing
First off I needed to sort out the wires that had been chopped on my ECU someone at some point has chopped off the power wheel.
They are incredibly hard to get hold of.
I had a word with Beardy to see of he would know anyone and be advised me to speak to EDS directly, so I did and after some translation issues and many many emails later ...
Brand new from EDS
This is my ECU
As you can see when the wires leave the "board" they have been chopped so I will be getting the new power wheel fitted soon.
I FINALLY got hold of one of these b@&£%#€s they are impossible to obtain !
After a polish
And fitted
Ignore the extra long vac pipe
Also got a new hot start valve mine had a nipple snapped off
So this is how my day started
After a couple of hours 1:45 to be precise (had a bet with a mate)
Out with the F28
There are a few reasons for this , no 1 is that this is going
Even though the clutch is brand new I've a friend who is selling his 6 paddle clutch and lightened flywheel so I thought why not !
Just waiting on them to arrive now
Terrible photo

That's true I'll have more peace of mind knowing the parts are more than capable of the power I'm running
