Ah i remember that thread...
Yeah what you need to do is go through exactly the process the other fella did, and also check on your ignition barrel for the chip and make sure it's still intact.
Are you sure you've plugged everything else back in?

You've probably missed an earth or a plug has come out somewhere. It worked before you took it apart i imagine? And if you properly broke something you would of heard a crunch and promptly shit yourself so it cant be all bad :p

the moment i shit myself was when i had it 85% together and tried to start it and it wouldn go however i think i might have found the problem
the round thing that slips on over the ignition barrell there are two of the most smallest copper wires known to man running inside to the little circuit board and one is broke would this stop it of starting ?

Would have thought that could be the reader for immobiliser if so then youve found the problem, iirc that part is universal so try soldering it and if not nip down to the scrap yard

Think youv found your problem. IMO if you have only had the dash out and now it doesnt start. It has to somthing in or around the barrel

I didnt think it was that bad in all honesty! I reckon i'd be on par with 5/6 hours. I think Krisb said he can one in 3 hours something?
