Cheers Smudger
No worries dude you're welcome.
Had a quite eventful day yesterday working on the car, managed to get the read beam and fuel tank off and started to rebuild them both. Also took the rear suspension off and freed up the coils and fitted the helper springs. Should be all back together next week.
Have ordered all the fuel hose and clamps etc ready for fitting that next Sunday.
Will upload some pics later on.

The clamps for the ARB were already on there as were done a few months ago but the outer ones were an absolute nightmare to get on and took an age and needed two people. The inner ones were fine.

Don't think back end of my car was ever touched, and I mean ever!

Anyway here's an up to date shot of the engine bay. All that is missing now is fitting the expansion tank, fit maf holder when it makes it from the USA and a few other odds and sods. Note the P Clip we installed to hold up the pipework in place.
Refurbed beam ready to fit on Sunday with rear disc conversion once the bearings arrive.
Quick shot of the rear suspension after we took both sides off and freed them up.
More next week before a week off for Mothers Day
