So small update today as was fighting bolts again. Got the ancillary loom out of the engine this weekend and will be testing continuity and giving it a tidy up. Removed the fuses and there is a little corrosion so need to clean this. Also removed a little more metal but forgot to get pics.
Have also found a large hole under the windscreen which I will need to fix. Spotted when I too the washer bottle out and saw a pile of rust sat there. So an extra hole to fix……..

I feel your pain. It's all progress though!
So been looking at tidying the loom I brought home.
Looks like Stuart Little was peckish.
Started to retake clean it up. Also gave me a chance to cut out the knawed parts and solder in new pieces.
Still a fair amount to do.
Excuse the mess I am a slob.
Also removed all connections from the fuse box to remove the mild corrosion from the connectors and to also clean the fuse box.
Dodgy diagram of wiring positions.

So been a few weeks but today was the day the engine finally came out!
The gearbox was not the easiest thing to remove due to 2 annoying nuts underneath, but got there in the end!
And then mounted on the new toy!
Strip down of the engine to start next weekend! Plus will need to jet wash the engine bay now as well too see what I shall be dealing with in there, although at first glance it does not too bad.

Strip down of the engine started. Not liking the state of the water pump nor thermostat housing!
This is not looking to great.
Thermostat housing.
I am a tad messy!
Also not sure if this looks right.
The step down between the tappets. Cannot find a picture of a head anywhere to see if this is normal.
So next week, remove head bolts (going to need the Hulk to help I think!). Will then be able to see the state of the pistons!!
