Just FYI, the filler cap rust will need the cap and filler neck removing, cleaning and treating inside and out, it comes from mud and crap sat on the filler neck, its quite a pain of a job to do!
@Raceface_13 im just going to wire the live to the blower motor and run it to the battery via a switch as the rest of the car electrica are covered by a kill switch anyway.
@Mash. did this in his cup as well so might have more info.
@SharkyUK I would just try and start it and see how it goes, if it works, great, if it goes pop, whack a standard engine in and just cut your losses. Appreciate you are in deep but anything else is madness surely?

Rebushed standard: Same compromises as above, I didnt really think this was worth the effort!
Scenic standard: Better height but...
Very common, dirt and crap builds up on the filler neck, holds moisture and eventually rusts through from inside. Drill the rivets out and the captive bolts for the filler cap (utter arse), treat it from both sides and paint, bolt the filler and cap assembly back on (dont need to use rivets). My...
I had spongy brakes after fitting a new rear line across the axle, even after multiple bleeds. Bled with the engine running and its sorted the issue, thanks to @GrahamS for the tip.
