    It lives!!!!!

    Fixed the coolant issue and filled the system, no leaks, yay. Put some petrol in it, stuck a battery on and it was ready.

    Turned it over a for a bit with the plugs out and the injectors disconnected to get some oil around it and then......



    Sorry for the faffing about I do in the video.

    So a bit noisy at first as the lifters were dry, but once oil pressure had come up then the noise died away. Left it idling a while, then stopped it, topped up the oil, water and steering fluids and restarted it.

    Left it to run for an hour whilst messing around with bits and bobs. All seems fine, drove it forward so even the clutch works

    Now to start on cleaning up the interior and getting all the unused parts out of the boot lol

    Oh and currently running the stock MAF.
