For some reason i had it in my head you already had a lump, roll on the ebay sessions!Oh yeah, I do like a bit of over engineering but there is times when I need the simplest answer and also I need people to realise when they are not going to dissuade me and sit back and wait for their "I told you so" moment.

(Track record isnt great lets be honest) so any questions you have that you think i can anser drop me a pm and ill do my best. Would love nothing more than to have a hand in a project like this.I will be having an engine fitting day at some point and you are definitely invited to that. Also I will need someone to sort out my brake lines when I get a new rear axle, hydraulic handbrake and bias valve as I am TERRIBLE at making brake pipes.
Just take your time do it once and do it right my man. Im sure finding the engine is probably the easiet bit.
Forgot why I was posting on here, progress
Got the box out (without removing the crossmembers)
Left a reasonable space in the tunnel
I'd cleared off the center console as it was in an absolutely minging state (along with most of the interior TBH). Been eyeing up the tunnel for cutting and seeing what I need to remove but haven't chopped anything yet as I don't know where the ZF will sit.
And I got the pedal box refitted, on the second attempt as I didn't line the clevis for the brakes up first time and bolted it down without realising. The brakes work and the hole centers are within 2mm of being right for the 30mm clutch master cylinder I've been eyeing up.
Finally, no pic but found the dick head I bought it off has removed every single fuse from the fuse box, not the worlds biggest issue except they are micro fuses and so 4 times as f*cking expensive.
