hehe, just got back from Zedy's - by the time i got to the garage, the engine was in and basically ready... , filled up with oil... plugged in the battery... looked at each other and started the car... took about 5-6 turns.. but then.. LIFE! vroom vroom..

had to mess with the idle to get it running right.. we then added driveshafts rebuilt suspension, put radiator back in.. but then we noticed a tonne of water on the ground... umg, so after a bit of hows yer father we located the leak... a pipe had cracked, so we just cut the pipe from there, and managed to get it on, its a bit tight... but should see the car leakless untill i get it replaced..

As Zedy said, bleed brakes, add gear box oil... (how much is needed btw?)MOT, tax disc.. and im legal.. HURRAH!... fingers crossed for tommorrow!..
