I would like to give a big thanks to Alastair (alastairp), Brian (kitchens) and of course Mike (210bhp) for all their help today in finally getting my engine back in my car. Still lots to do but now at least I have a rolling chassis. It was a very enjoyable day.

Gary plumb the oil, electrics, fuel and a few bits and bobs. Now that the engine is in the car it can be moved about and I'm determine to have this on the road for the spring (last famous words!).
