Nice to see the build pictures coming along.
Did you take any measurements or did you draw a diagram when you made the engine mounts? I am using a 1.6 myself and want to get around the bonet clearance problems. If so please can I have the details David

Haha, it does look a bit "Solo Polo Peeper" now you mention it Michael
 Johno - that rear wheel is only on there very loosely at the moment, which might be why it's sat at that angle. I'll try to remember to investigate and take some measurements next time I'm out there. David, if you look through my photos there should be a load with measurements showing my intended engine position. Essentially I've just got the sump 40mm below the bottom rail, and the engine offset to the passenger side by 25mm. I've also purchased an inlet manifold from a Mk2 1.6 recently, which may or may not help with bonnet clearance - watch this space!

Though to be honest it was a bit more "crazy frog" than "brum brum" Cheers Andy, I have to say it was great feeling getting it on it's wheels, I couldn't stop grinning for a while

Got my Battery today. A dinky little Odyssey PC680, which should fit nicely in the passenger footwell without taking up too much leg room (not that I particularly care about passenger legroom!)

Fitted the same to my car last year when I upgraded and its spot on
Reasonably powerful for its size too Mine came off the road at the end of September and the battery has been disconnected whilst Ive been tinkering, just got it all back together a couple of weeks ago and the battery cranked it over perfectly, as if it had just been charged that day!

Hi Mark, that's good to know thanks!
I've got an optimate kicking around somewhere which I plan to use to keep it in tip top condition. The chances of me actually remembering to use it are pretty slim though
