Hmmmmmmmmmmmm....

The engine & gearbox is all fitted in complete with driveshafts etc etc. The car is rolling so to speak.
Exhaust has been manufactured to fit also, De-Catted.
Whats left to do then ?
Fuel pipes, Coolant pipes and the wiring 
It dosnt sound much left to do but none of the coolant pipes match up and are all different, The fuel is pushed to the engine on the HCS via electric fuel pump, the CVH engine sucks the fuel from the tank so need to cross that problem and finally the electrical wiring.... Dont laugh but its been about 15 years since i left college and i might have to dig into the odd wiring diagram or so to sus the wiring out, failing that it will be a short journey to a local auto-electrician.
More pics coming over the next few days or so as i get time and will keep you up-dated on the progress.
