Cheers Sam! Yeah shoved them on today!
Not a great photo but gives an idea.
Tom and I also got the head back with new bolts and head gasket. Put it all back together except the cambelt/tensioner and water pump were completely different so put the the originals back on. We connected the brake lines and bled all the brakes which feel a lot better now there's some fluid. Exhaust box went back on as well.
Car then started after a few little hitches, and fixed a rattle. The exhaust manifold area was leaking so tightened the nuts and ended up shearing the stud... Fun times! Think we need to pivot the exhaust and undo the bolt/nut underneath.
Need to find a new radiator cap, along with: new cambelt/water pump, stud, new manifold gasket potentially and then the car should be ready!!
