New brake discs and pads are on. Coilovers are on too, though not setup properly yet (ride height etc). Intercooler is on (though piping not installed yet).
Brake lines haven't been done yet, as mentioned yesterday, because of the wrong fittings. I've tried contacting the sellers (who I bought from way back in March), but their phone number gives a weird message, and doing a bit of Googling it looks like a few other people have had the same problem in the past few weeks. So I don't have a good feeling, and am probably going to have to buy another set of brake lines. I should have fitted them myself ages back then I wouldn't have this problem, doh !
The manifold has been altered and is being picked up tonight, and will be tried in place tomorrow with the turbo. If that's all ok, then the engine will come out and the rebuild will start on that.
I may have some photos later to post, fingers crossed !

Marsdendean You going to WIM once all the work has been done then steve?
Not initially, because I'm getting Charlesworth to set the ride height to almost exactly the same as it is now. I'm making it the same height at the front, and just very slightly lower at the rear. Once it's all bedded in with some mileage on it, then I will probably take it to WIM for a check-up.

Cous3 Steve were the brake lines the right type though...."S"......for your year car?Apparently so, yes. It was purely the pitch of the thread that was wrong :cursing:
Cutting off the wrong connector and attaching the new one isn't really an option though, since then probably the line will be too short.

Moley Could you not just re-tap the threads ???? to the same pitch
I wouldn't have thought you could do that and keep it the same size connector though ? Wouldn't you have to end up making it a smaller diameter if you re-tapped it ?
I could be wrong though, never tried that on something like this.
