Thanks for the comments all!

Hopefully have it running in a couple of months depending on how much i want to do to the rest of the car to get it up to scratch. ie decent front end, fuel system etc.

Probably need a new gearbox, can anyone suggest any gearboxes(other than t5)? have heard of the supra (w55 i think) and celica 5speed w50 but not sure whether they will be strong enough.

Matt the brakes were 1200 i think from hoppers stoppers for the kit, everything you need to complete it, does require upgraded master cyliner though.

Not real sure what i am doing with the motor/gearbox, if anyone is interested send me an email with any questions/offers whatever...open to anything at this point

Thanks
Luke

Cossie looks awesome mate, keep up the good work. Anti dive looks great too, although there's something oddly familiar about it - I just can't quite put my finger on it!

Motor is looking great! Did you purchase your wcxm or did you fabricate it yourself?
