Sorry I'm being crap on the updates - not finding much time to go play with the MX at present.
ANYWAY...I've so far burnt around 15 hours on precursory work up front removing the alternator (which had seized) - whoever decided to tap a forward flange of a reverse bolted connection, then use an steel bolt [ally flange] needs shooting. Had to air chisel it off after rounding the lower bolt.
The biggest tale of woe so far is the undertray bolts, all of which are being slowly drilled out and replaced with nutserts. Slow job as I've only just realised my drill bits are rather blunt! With any luck they'll be out over the weekend and I can get the rear electrics sorted.

Yep, they're there....I've just been waylaid regards getting them installed

Looks that way yes, unless you cut the front end back to the scuttle line (I'm toying with this idea atm).

That would be very well appreciated. Will do.
