right time for a propper update i feel. 
brakes have been bled and the pedal feels lovely and firm thanks to the braideds.
bought some new TRE's as the old ones were quite worn
got the tyres fitted and also collected some more bits
shes nearly there in the bay now, just tidying up, a few bolts and hose clips here and there needed.
all the electrics are working now, and she coughed a few times the other night, just need to fiddle with the dizzy position and im sure she will run, ive got fuel and a spark
Just a quick pic to show the interior, still standard bonus apart from RS dash
still even has the 4 speed gearnob
parts i need to finish her are:
top turbo water pipe(the metal one)
Exhaust
cambelt cover
rad fan
just need to wait till next friday to get paid now
1 last pic, i pushed her to the end of the drive the other day so i could move a few cars around, she looks so innocent gonna piss the local saxo and corsa boys off
more soon

a quick post just to get things up to speed. Got her running but took about 30 seconds to start and had to rev her high to keep her running. This suggested to me that she had an air leak somewhere. 
So, checked all the breather hoses and the two that push onto the rocker cover felt very loose(standard ford shite spring clips) so replaced them with some jubilee clips. Turned the key and she started on the button( ) then ldled for a couple of seconds before stopping dead.Tried to start her up again but the pump didnt prime So checked the pump with a direct 12v feed and nothing-brand new pump is fecked How frustrating!
Supplier has agreed to change it so along with exhaust and fan arriveing this week, fingers crossed for being finished this weekend comeing
Really cant wait to see the rear with the exhaust pokeing out
