Bit of good news tonight, popped to the lock up to drop the manifold off the engine, it's a 30 minute job but involves removing the charger and engine mount.
I was told the engine was fitted with stage 4 charger but i was also told everything bar seats and cards were there to build it haha
So popped the charger off and took the outlet off
Looks brand new, looked at the charger and is indeed a stage 4 by jabba, is also brand new rebuild never run
Still got assembly grease in there
Took some pics of the 14" bbs ra with new tyres popped them on ebay for £120 and by the time i got out the bath they'd sold

Thanks Andy, it was a real shame about the shell, the was no rot whatso ever. 1 or 2 crusty bits but nothing rusted out. If i had more time i'd have cut it up so others could use bits.

Been quite a good day, got a few bits done
First was the 4 branch
Supercharger bracket required a little off
But got it on in the end
I will need to move runner 2 in slightly as it'll be in the way of my new outlet when i make it
Found this in the shed
And salvaged the cup from the gold one yesterday so popped it on
Gave the omp system a wipe over
And popped it on
Next was the coils and brakes
Popped the wing off for some adjustments
To find the lip had been rolled and sealed
Passenger side before and after
Rears on too
While i was under there seemed to have been coated everywhere with something
And again rear arch have been rolled, smoothed and sealed
Back on it's wheels
Started on some more loom but after couple of hours downed tools and called it a day

Loving your build chap, makes me wonder if I should have gone G40 instead of G60 due to the extra room lol
Where did you find your OMP group A Inox exhaust!!! I've been on the hunt with no joy
I want that rally rasp sound
