New Genuine Ford alternator,
Heatshield was in good condition so I gave it a quick dust coat of high temp paint,
Would have been fitted today but I only have stainless fittings and I'm wanting Zinc, so i'll be dropping the stuff of sometime next week
Gates belts from MSD

Just read your whole thread, i have to say i have NEVER seen this attention to detail, thats just incredible!! 
Shame the roads arent lined with plastic...
One thing though i hope you got that flywheel tidied up before bolting that new clutch to it!

Thanks for the comments, makes it all worth while 
Flywheel was checked when the engine was built, was fine.....I did use some wet and dry to clean most of the 'blueing' that was left on it
I'm sure it won't be a problem, it was low miles before and I thought if I took it to a garage for a clutch, they'd just fit one anyway

Degreased the gearbox heatshield today but needs an overall polish and I can't be arsed 
Put a couple more details on,
Hand brake cable picked up from Ford on Thursday, only needs disc and pads for the rear and the back end is complete

Sorry no real updates at the moment after being let down by a metal polishing company.
Stainless Mongoose waiting to be polished up then that will be fitted up before christmas.
Gearbox heatshield re-fitted
New Genuine Ford Water pump bought awaiting fitment
New genuine Ford coil waiting fitment
K&N panel filter fitted
Waiting funds for Samco hoses then I can crack on fitting the inlet and fuel rail
pics to follow

Wow mate thats is simply stunning! attention to detail is scary 
Thats serious work went into that! Is there a database or a document you have with all the individual screws,bolts,nuts etc you have bought so you can go to the ford dealership and just ask for the parts by giving a serial number?? cheers

Most of the other nuts/bolts/washer are standard sizes, so I bought bulk and had them zinc plated.
I remember the flanged bolts hard to find, the bolts for the arms and the long bolt through the diff M12x210mm
If your stuck with any let me know and tell you where I got them
