Steve: I don't work in the car industry i'm in the health service sadly, tinkering around makes a change from my day to day work though. I have a friend who has his own body shop so borrowed his air fed mask for spraying, you have to 2k paint is lethal.
Carbs4ever: It was after reading your thead back in January this year that got me started on mine! Great job!
More updates this weekend………..

Baz. Putting the engine back in was not as bad as I thought. It took two of us one at the gearbox end and one at the opposite end. You really have to tilt the engine down (gearbox end) then just line up the engine mounts to the brackets. Just take your time!
Mike. Will PM you some photos of the order of bits on the wiper shaft.
New original rad fitted
