Fortunately managed to get a set of rods from the scrappers this morning, tenner for the lot 
So after a few issues along the way, the block is getting there. Rods, pistons, new bearings, oil pump, flywheel, clutch all been done.
Plans for tomorrow are to get sump on, get all the ancillaries sorted, bosch etc. Will have to wait till Monday for my head gasket/bolts to arrive and then that should be the block sorted.
Will also have to make up some turbo adapter plates, fit new brakes, '6 ARB, the list goes on
I'm a bit pushed for time now, as I'm off to Scotland on Thursday, so basically got tomorrow and three evenings, to build an engine, fit it and get everything sorted. But with the mighty Jonny on my side, we should be fine
