I have been working on the car as and when time permitted and have made steady progress so time for an update:

The stainless steel exhaust manifold that did not fit properly ( see my other threads ) has been fitted along with the stainless exhaust, lower gearbox mount and shorter Auxiliary belt ( borrowed from my track focus )

A spare crash bar for my st170 has been fitted along with black wings and bonnet from my old st170

Inside has been stripped and lots of unwanted wires, and a few that are required have been removed from the loom. Gear lever raiser has been fitted ( due to go into my track focus )

The biggest problem has been getting rid of the mountain of waste plastic trim, carpet and seat foam etc but luckily I pass the local tip on my way to work or coming home so have just got rid of small amounts when I could, this has enabled me to keep to the budget !!
