About time mate haha. yav took ya time like :-)

Lol only had couple hours each night to get it done on between my day and evening job but its slowly got there and no point rushing it and making a bad job of it.

Headlamps all wired up now what a pain in the backside though as different looms to a blobeye lots of trial and error but got there just need to cut the inserts from front bumper now for the fmic and its done

Just about there now just the damn light to sort out the wiring as one would not work so having to wire them all up again.

Am sure somebody will have the wiring diagram on here.

Sorted eventually on the final attempt

Thats the front end all done stroker conversion starting this weekend.

You have made the right choice. Breaking it to buy another car with an known engine and potentially the exact same problem happening would have been a silly choice to make

Bit of update the cars away getting the 2.1 stroker conversion and also getting the engine painted whilst its getting taken out and put back in.
full decat getting fitted aswell.

Cant wait to get it back and then booked into bodyshop to get front end sprayed.

once the outside sorted will be looking at installing top ice system.
