just to add to this

I've been asked what needs doing to it, to finish it ! Well this is just a brief list of the top of my head what needs to be done

-- Rear end is done, all tightened, load valves are set. New wheel bearings done and locked, handbrake is set and fully working
-- Front end suspension / wishbones / roll bar / hubs are all set and tight, front wheel bearings are lightly tightened but will need to be torqued up , ( brand new bearings also )
-- Brakes will need fluid and bleeding front and back.
-- Exhaust manifold will need it gasket ( which I have ) and tightening , I was going to do this after the new rad and intercooler are set in place.
-- Intercooler will need mounting, I have a bracket to secure the top end of the intercooler into the original location hole at the top, I will explain this on the DVD.
-- Turbo will need setting in place, compressor end gasket is required, then it can be all tightened up when you offer the bottom boost pipe up to the turbo. A 45 deg oil pipe will need to be custom fitted for the oil return from the turbo to the block, burton sell one for £18 , all that will need to be done is to cut about a inch off the turbo oil return METAL pipe , for it to fit perfectly !
-- inlet manifold sensors to fit into inlet sandwich plate, fuel injectors + cold start valve to be fitted, inlet manifold is all still loose and will need to be torqued
-- fitiing of the throttle body, it could do with a polish inside and out , as I've bored it out to remove the inside lip , so that it flows better. I have a standard one to for the car that has been un-touched , so up to you what one you want to use.
-- exhaust fitting , ( but I have no clamps for it ) but I have the clamp that mounts to the gearbox
-- boost and water pipes, header tank will need fitting
-- new alternator to fit
-- cvh rocker cover will need either re-spraying , or I was going to get it chromed along with the inlet manifold, x-over pipe, and bonnet hinges
-- Distributer to fit and set timing , spark plugs also needed
-- Bonnet lock
-- heater fan and plastic surround
-- speedo cable
-- washer bottle and pipes
-- front seats will need bolting down
-- gearbox and engine will need oil

That's about all I can think of at the mo , maybe there are a few other smaller jobs to be done , but I can't think of everything !
