Well I've gone a few bits and bobs over the last few days and got a chance to drive her today in the sunshine and god shes transformed, still not up to full power but I'm totally back in love with the car. Was grinning from ear to ear.
Got myself a machine gauge, nice small 40mm, 30psi boost gauge thats actually accurate (unlike cheap ebay boost gauges) and only cost me about £3. Only downside is there's no back light. Also in piping it in got my LDA piped in too.

Spaced my upper engine mount with some washers to drop the engine about 5mm and this has cured all my rubbing issues. Also chocked the mount slightly and no pics but got my 6pk780sf belt on but couldn't remove the pas pump as the allen bolts are made of cheese. will remove the washer bottle and drill them soon.

And yesterday got some 3mm steel to make subframes with and started drilling. The seat in the pic will be a few inches further back when I'm finished but it gives you an idea. Just waiting for my drill to charge to put in a load more holes for adjustability as I'm not gonna use sliders on the drivers seat. Hopefully if the weather stays dry I'll have them in by the middle of next week.
