So I left Bash's Saturday and when i came back Sunday and the engine was in!
by the end of The night the we were ready to start the engine for the first time since it was in the 405 - fired straight away.
Next day we hooked up all the ancillaries and fitted new radiator.
Welded the 405 exhaust on to the 205 end and persuaded it to fit with the help of a hammer.
Neatened up the bay so it looks mostly original and time for a test drive!!!!
Drives pretty well but the bodged exhaust seems to be holding back power badly. seems to be blowing oil back into the air filter!
I cleaned the air filter out so I can see if this happens all the home or just under heavy load.
I've ordered an exhaust which should be here by next weekend....
Until then I'll be driving around timidly but with a huge grin on my face none the less

this is what the finished (for a week) article looks like.
Really happy with how this has turned out so far, big thanks to Bash for basically making this happen for me
