   its taken me 6 months to actually buy one. before it goes in i want to change the cambelt, clutch, oil and filter, clean and paint engine, possibly silicon hoses and new manifold, get new driveshafts, new drop links, track rod ends and lower arm balljoints. will probably be in in about 18 months lol

   get the boys round - a few crates of stella later, 18 rounded nuts, a broken engine crane later, the engine wont be in but good fun had by all lol.
   
   on a serious note though, good job! get it shoehorned in!
