Fitted my new skirts tonight:

I didnt fancy drilling the sills, so the clips are fitted with very strong bonding, My other nova has been like this for nearly 2 years and is still perfect :thumb:
I somehow lost my turbo manifold nuts, so ordered some yesterday from Autovaux, and they arrived this morning at 9.30am, RESULT!!

Also sourced the correct Altenator from Dod (thanks mate), gave it a quick clean and got it fitted, its still not 100% pretty, but its impossible to see when the inlet / tophat cover is on so i'm not going to worry too much.
And finally I fitted the correct cambelt cover, rocker cover, and then threw the fanbelt on.

Still to do before the start:
- Collect and fit new passanger engine mount
- Fit intercooler and radiator
- Collect and fit inlet manifold and all sensors etc that join to it.
Then i'm good to prime the engine and work on getting it started. I'm going to set a target of next weekend, but hopefully i'll have it sorted before then (Inlet dependent)
Thanks
Keith
