Thanks, fortunately it garaged. Hoping to get more time on it during the winter if the weather remains mild.

I don't do freezing cold weather!

Work is manic at the moment but I managed to get some time in the garage to drag the gearbox out of hiding. With some good gearbox ratio information found on the forum I've finally managed to identify / confirm that the ratios match the VTS gearbox via input shaft to output shaft ratio's.

Also started to strip the front end in preparation for installing the engine but first need to install the clutch and couple to the engine. I also need to install new input shaft and diff oil seals as a matter of coarse.

Just taken delivery of the new input and diff seals, managed to install the input shaft seal but need to remove the 2 x diff seal and fitted the new ones. I also ordered a new 5 gear cover rubber seal as the old one was cracked.

Still had no time to do much on the car but I have been ordering some more parts

Supersprint manifold and Scorpion dummy cat and 2" outwardly rolled backbox.

Anyone any idea why my photos are not showing as thumbnails as in my previous pages now only shows icons?

Absolutely no idea why it's doing that. Maybe been an update or something?

Very strange indeed.......I’m no IT font of knowledge but as you said it’ll be some form of crap update no doubt.

Managed to fit the clutch and bolted the gearbox to the engine the installed the engine just to see how easy it was toileting get in by myself, it wasn't too bad to be fair so I've removed it to allow me to get some engine bay stuff finished off before it goes in for the last time.
