UPDATE
well the car is now with me at my uni house so we can now get cracking, with a charge of the battery the engine fired in to life straight away, it had a misfire and was idling about 2krpm but apart from that it seemed alright, but then we saw a big(ish) pool of oil under the car, so we took the cam belt cover off and we could see oil coming out the head gasket, soooo we have taken the head off and is now ready to be skimmed on monday and ill also be inquiring about porting and polishing heres a few photos pretty shit photos as it was dark when we finished but the main thing it work has started!
tomorrows jobs are to strip down the cylinder head, take the bottom half of the cambelt off with pulleys, tensioners etc and also have a crack at the water pump (fun) and then de-grease the block and get it all clean.
the plan of action then is to re-build the cylinder head with the 708's, re-fit head with new water pump and cambelt, bolt the bodies on, splice the tps sensor in to the loom, mount the IAT sensor somewhere, fit new throttle/clutch cable and then get it mapped!
oh also need to remove the loom and chop out all the wiring that i wont be using and tidy it up a bit

cheers mate, i was at home this weekend so no progress was made, I think were re-fitting the head tomorrow if you want to pop down? ill give you a text nearer the time if your interested
UPDATE
well i picked the head up yesterday from being skimmed, adn i dropped my cam ladders off at the local garage to have two snapped bolts extracted, but we made a start on refurbishing the head
first of all we put the head in to a stand and we removed the valves, springs, caps, collets and stem seals
and then we started grinding the valves and seats
tom having some well deserved dinner! (or tea, sorry tom)
once the valves were reground we fitted new stem seals
refitting the valves and springs
trying to carefully get the collets back in
then at 1am last night we finally had the head as complete as we could get it with all the valves put back in and the hydraulic lifters (which had been drained of oil)
Today i picked the cam ladders up from the garage so later on this evening we will fit the cams with new cam seals and bolt the cam ladders down, ready to re fit the head tomorrow 
took a few pics 
shame the jp4 covers arent mine :'( but i had to see what it looked like with them on lol
