Its Alive!!!!
 
ITS RUNNING, at last... after 2 weekend of trouble shooting, i got it running 10 min ago.. i wasnt expecting it to start, and was inside my garage with the door shut, and then i got it running. Now to get the rad connected and the fuel tank on, and hopefully it'll be all done probably this weekend. I may even take it out for a quick drive on my road... if i get the steering back in as well. ahhh.. it feels good...

I really should thank you for the help in the other thread:) ;) .. it was 2 things, firstly, the hybrid ignition wasn't grounded.. i cant believe i missed it. secondly, rather than cleaning up the old plugs, i got some new one from halfords for £4.60 and that seems to have also done the trick. ive only got it running for about 20 sec, as i dont have a rad on right now. at the moment there are a few connections just twisted together, so ill solder up the connections and get the loom in and fitted as well. :D :D Will hopefully get a vid up this weekend. I cant wait to take it out for a quick drive.. even without bodywork or shocks.

Well done,

bet it feels great to hear it going.

Hoping to get my running this week, no hybrid to contend with though so hopefully should go first time (hopefully, fingers crossed etc etc etc)
