Time for just a small update before the all the work starts putting the engine back in
Forgot all about the rear engine mount till i found it on thursday, So popped up to see a guy and he managed to get it shot blasted for me the same day :nod:
Gave it a coat of paint and now it looks much better
Before
After
And finally got the last of the bits i need(I hope)
More pics to come over the next few days.

Well as i said i would take a coupe of vids of first start up, I did remeber lol
First i thought i would take a couple of pictures of it finished under the bonnet and with the lights on hehe
The first video is us trying to get the oil going round the engine before we fired it up.
The second video we got everything wired up including the old plug leads(new ones never came til 3) and it wouldn't start
Forgot to plug the fuel pump in
The last video its finally running :bounce: Got to love the noise of a lumpy engine with cams in it, Ignore the tappy noise, It went away after a few mins of it running.
