So busy weekend again ! Oil pipes and engine wiring loom measured and hopefully worked out !??
So engine back out, wiring sorted and oil pipes and route figured out. Vent tank fitted and battery reinstalled!! Had a think and thought about wait distribution with the oil tank the other side it made sense to keep it where it was :)
Oh and then put engine back in! This time everything hooked up, like starter and axles and for now back on four wheels ;) Hopefully for the last time.

Ha ha thanks :)

Not yet I'm just waiting for two oil pipe unions or fittings. Sooo hope there here this weekend!!

Plenty of other things to do in the meantime like fixing the brake calipers and installing the fuel pump and so on :)
