Do you buy new bits every time you mug some old lady on the street? 
Appreciate it mate. I need to do some cleaning though, that's for damn sure!

Once the wiring is done i'll get the exhaust made, then it's ready to drive!
Toad - something like that mate lol! 
Few more updates today - went over to Bob's workshop to fit my catch tank and breather pipes etc (with Bob's help) so I took a few pics. The loom is all fitted, alternator fitted, oil has been filled up in the gearbox, just need some engine oil (they ran out at Silverstone) and it should be ready to start on Tues - so fingers crossed! Massive thanks to Bob - the wiring is absolutely SEXUAL and it's so minimal you can hardly notice it. Really sets off the engine bay well. You'll have to excuse the turd pics as they're off my phone as I forgot to bring my camera over!
Loom and details:
Alternator in:
Catch tank done (thanks to Bic for his old mounting bracket) top man!

Job of the wiring looks brilliant. Sounds like a very indepth job to get it to that standard?

Awesome.
Didn't see those pics before.
Can you tell me a little more about the loom work and the folk doing it? I've got loom everywhere, a right mess.

Thanks very much again lads. If all goes to plan we'll be starting it tomorrow...i'm shitting myself!
Toad, the loom is around £1500 all done by Bob of Wirewizard (he owns and runs the company himself). I will say it's the best £1500 i've spent, it makes such a huge difference to the bay - also protects all the cables from the heat so functional too. I'd get one on your engine you'd love it.

Very nice wiring! Just wish it was cheaper to have it done!
Think it suits the car though!

I would love it, but I just can't warrant such a cost unfortunately. If only I had a sponsor. Haha.

Lol we all need one of those mate!
Cheers guys.
Right, serious update tonight......it's alive!
Went over to Bob's to do a few more bits and pieces, fitted my new powder coated PAS bracket and battery tray, and Bob started it up again so I could hear it running. He had already got it running in the week but said he wanted to do that when I wasn't there as I worry too much! Well my word it sounds so crazy, I cannot wait to have a drive of it! Few minor issues, we're still waiting on an oil pressure sensor, and it's running super rich at the moment which I think is partly due to the bodies being out of balance slightly. Bob has a tool to sort this out which he should be able to do next week. He's also done my front brake lines leading to the calipers so it's really making progress now. Again a huge thanks to Bob for all his hard work so far, really pleased. One slight bogey is I seem to have a tiny bit of oil seepage from the Oil cooler sandwich plate so I suspect it's been over tightened - either way it's a tiny amount, so i'll sort that when I do the first oil change. Don't want to be wasting the current oil at over £60 a pop! :rolleyes: The plan is to get the exhaust made up next, then probably get the map tweaked so it's not so rich - I felt high as a kite after being in the garage with the engine running for ten minutes - my eyes were burning too! I got a couple of pics and 2 vids to whet the appetite - all I can say is it's going to be naughty once it's driveable! I had another video of it really revving up but my camera ran out of memory halfway through so it lost the info..never mind. Got some slightly better photo's of the wiring job too. We also need some more hose retainers to tidy the lines to the catch tank but we're on the case with that too...all in all i'm dead pleased/excited!
