More progress this evening. Mike Race has popped round this and given me a hand. We've got the idle mixture & speed set, changed the brake pads as it had green stuff in which I'm not keen on, flushed the brake fluid & re-bled, nipped the turbo oil drain up again followed by a pre-mot check.
All looks good!

It even managed to move it under it's own power!

So this weekend will be tinkering time!

List of to do items so far is:-

Check & reset the valve clearances.
Check & re-torque head
Oil the air-filter as it's not pre-oiled
Plumb in the bleed valve (and make a bracket for it)
Sort squeaky fan belt (it's tight but still slips on the super-slick alternator pulley)
Pipe the radiator overflow in
Check and adjust TDC offset in the Megajolt.
Fit new grille
Fit new front bumper
Re-fit VIN plate
Change oil
Double check the turbo oil drain!!
Wash, (maybe a polish) & clean the interior out.

MOTs are overrated, they only let you drive your car more so that you find more problems/things to fix*tongue*

Looking good though!

good luck; I assume Andy hasn't sabotaged it in an attempt not to be the last man without an MOT?

good stuff!

I doubt very much Mr AA man would be happy change the head gasket on the off chance that you haven't done a piston or two in, it'll be a flatbed every time *happy*

OK so head gasket...... What about coolant, oil and a filter? you'll have to wind up the boost to counter that extra weight *hehe!*

*wink**wink*
