An update on this. I got the engine fitted almost a month ago, got everything connected up but the engine wouldn't turn. So after a bit of quick bit of investigation I realized the clutch was fouling the gearbox. This was due to the flywheel/clutch being slightly thicker than the stock ones. No biggie I thought, took the gearbox off and purchased an OEM LSD box. Modified it to fit and after trial fitting it a few times, the engine was freely turning (by hand). Once again I got everything connected back up but the starter still wouldn't turn the engine. Checked and replaced all the earth cables, power lead, battery and finally the starter motor. Still nothing. Tried another starter motor which worked for about 10 seconds and then died too. Both these starter motors work perfectly fine when they're off the car! So once again I tried yet another starter motor which turned the engine twice and that died too (as if it's low on power). I tested the power on the power cable and there was more than enough, the power cable was only about 50cm long (as opposed to the 3m wire used when the battery was in the boot). This is when I just gave up as my schedule is way too busy to be messing about with the car so she is now being broken. On a brighter note though, none of the coloured body panels are for sale. Eventually I will return the car to stock (or near stock). One last picture for now.
