Well I have been making progress, but slower than i had hoped. I decided that i needed the motor back in the car to figure out where to put the O2 sensors in the exaust, so i am finishing everything else off as i go so i only have to put it in once(I hope).[%]
The list is shorter but for every job i remember i have to do, i have found another 2 i have forgot about having to do.[B)]
Front coilover struts, finished and refitted again.
Crossmember is all welded up and fitted with the power steering rack totaly fitted also. Just have to make the conecting hoses to the ps pump once the motor is fitted in.
Pully system is all finished and a belt has been aquired for the job.
Water pump has been modified and fitted. just have to make up a couple more heater hoses and its done also.
The next 2 jobs on the list are
1. To finish off the steering column and conection to the rack.
2. clean up the gear box, and reasemble it with the corect length shifter and fill it with oil. then it is on to refitting the motor and sorting out all of the fidely bits.
I will have more photos later when i get time to post them up.[%]

1, Final test fit of the sump before getting it welded up.
2, Remove the motor and start its rebuild, wich shouldnt take to long.
3, Get the headers all TIG welded up.
4, Mount the bottom steering coulmn bearing in the fire wall.
5, Make up new peddle box with hydrolic clutch and under dash master cylinder
6, Refit motor, mount alternator, powersteering pump, water pump, radiator, intercooler, fuel lines, all pipeing and wireing loom.
7, Have made up a new tail shaft and modify the tunnel under the rear seat. When i get to this point, then it will be drivable[:p][:p]. so there is still lots left to be done before SFS early next year.

well here are some pictures of the progress to date.
I is all fitting in, but very tight. I have to drop out the crossmember to fit the starter motor and to remove the headers to weld in the O2 sensors now i have figured where to put them in. It WILL be running by SFS 2007. It wont be regoed and maybe not drivable but it will be running.[:p]
