Well, absolutely gutted that this won't be running tonight 
Unfortunately bent the torx bit when it came to angle tightening one of the head bolts, so hopefully it has not knackered head bolt too badly. Will have to find out on Tuesday when I'm back from Scotland.
We made amazing progress up until then though.
Weld a crack in the turbo - DONE
Fabricate some sort of exhaust - NOPE
Inlet manifold - GOOD TO GO
Leak off pipes - DONE
Starter motor - DONE
Flywheel cover - NOPE
Coolant pipes - DONE
Oil filler - DONE
Oil filter - DONE
Wiring loom - DONE
Intake - DONE
Aux belt - DONE
Angle tighten head bolts - BAD THING HAPPENED
Catch tank - NOPE
Engine hoist point - DONE
Attack the bulkhead - DONE
So this is the situation we're left in:
Fitting an engine in a blizzard, how's that for commitment
And just because I'm a photo slut, that is how clean the back of an XUD should be
