Well not much progress to shout about lately. Crap weather has had a knock on effect on my ability to get off my arse.
Managed to get the rear 'rolling', new bearings, discs & pads, fully assembled and rotating freely. Moved on to the front and after several hours/days of head scratching and forum searching finally I found that I had made a bit of a cockup on the front lower wishbones - for some reason I misread the dimensions to 365 instead of 395! - bugger! - a few quick mails and Phil to the rescue. Also managed to get my engine sorted, 2.0 blacktop, practically new, 30k on it. Eaton m45 charger due for arrival on Friday so hopefully will have this weekend to investigate fabrication methods. Ecu choice still needs to be decided upon, was always inclined to go mega squirt but struggling to find any local tuners who will touch it.

Cheers for the info, I must have called 10+ tuners and all were recommending Omex. I will give them call.
Just want to make sure we have local tuners before committing to ordering an ecu.

Well managed to get a few hours this morning. Also had a visit from a fellow builder.
Replaced belt and gaskets on the engine, new clutch and modified block for starter motor. A health coat of high temp Matt black too - if things stay still long enough in my garage they end up painted black! I opted for keeping the 2.0 flywheel setup (as I already had the new clutch, spigot bearing and release bearing to suit). Having acquired a tiger shortened sump I also installed the shortened oil pickup. Mated to type 9 easily with no concerns - apart from the dubious 5 bolt securing.... Dropped into chassis but may need to rethink the mount position on exhaust side as I am tempted now to move alternator under exhaust manifold to make way for the charger.

Well managed to get engine in place and mounted.
Rear end is now rolling, the NS seemed a bit tight to rotate and I was dreading that maybe something not seated correctly, removed caliper and span trouble free. Found the guidepins were painted so we're quite stiff causing caliper to sit offset. After a quick run down everything now ok.

Replaced front wheel bearings. Pretty straight forward except mixing up LH and RH stubs! Lesson learned in there somewhere!
Front calipers stripped and new seals in place! What a fiddly job. Be happy if I don't have to do them again....
