well just an update to say that the car is now running and driveable. it has yet to be mot'd though as there are a few issues i'd like to get fixed first. It's certainly not a show-er but it should be a go-er

quick pic of the bay:





it doesn't look anything special, but i've never been about under bonnet bling anyway. as long as it works, i'm happy . It's had a base map on ms2, i just need to do a couple hundred miles on it as a shakedown before we give it some welly!
