David, thanks for the drop links
Sorry if i seemed a bit "down", but just tired, was really impressed with what you have done, it looks really good, especially the exhaust and the wiring for the ecu, really tidy.
Just finished rebuilding the coilovers!!!

Just a quick tip - Don't leave your air filter lying like that, bits of **** have a habit of getting in and sticking to the inner surface. They don't shake off when upturned and only become dislodged when the turbo is at full chat

It was a fuel tank from harvey cheers harvey.. I bought it cos it looked a good buy.. mark pursuaded me to cut it up and see what fuel surge was 
so I now have an ornament that I trip over.. that has yet to be baffled and re-tigged.

I am sure you would have thought about this but why can you not fit the headers once the engine is in??
Or am I missing something very obvious again.
Have you considered mounting the air filter below the scoop??
