Not a massive update but got the fuel system plumbed back in with the new pump etc and modified the stock fuel rail:

just removed the push on ends and fitted hard line AN adaptors so now it will connect to the rest of the fuel system.

pump and filter mounted to the fuel filler neck case


and everything in place and hoses attached

Manifold tacked together (with flexi and o2 sensor mounting

And the backbox supports tacked in place
So the exhaust is ready for a full weld now and its on with the next job - I need to sort the water hardline from the water pump with needs a few modifications then i need to do a compression test before doing the engine service and start up!
So I now have a queue of tig welding to be done which at the moment is going to take a while seen as how we are in lockdown!
