Sorry guys! I've not given up, just had barely any chance to get to the car and do anything! There are a few bits done, and just received some new parts. I will update over the weekend when I get chance to do some more

Need to get the cooling system plumed up with the magic bag of random hose (Thankyou please for them Olz:thumb: ) Fuel system plumbed up and then look into getting some banjos fitted on the oil cooler line as I dont want to trust the jubilee clip approach after rebuilding the engine. & then I can get it running! Good times! I hope lol
Can I fit an oil filter without the oil cooled sandwich plate? just a thought as I could get it running without the cooler setup first... Will look into that
Thats all for now
Looking goooood.
All you need to do to get rid of the sandwidge plate for the time being is to get a new centre bolt bit from vauxhall. Have a search on here.
If you remove the oil cooler plate, you can get a fitting to screw the oil filter straight to the pump from vauxhall.
Cars looking good dont know how ive missed this thread, gonna have a look through it now :)
Looks cracking Ian, keep on moving mate..
Some good progress!
Ian Vaux part number 90144360 (a few £ only) will allow you to screw a filter into the pump without the sandwich plate.
I really cant wait to see this all finshed. Keep up the good work !
