Cheers guys! I was up until almost 2am last night putting all the interior back together so that's one less job to do now.
Picked up necessary fluids today so hopefully tonight I can get the majority done.
Tonight I plan on:
- Finishing power steering
- Radiator coolant
- Putting in diesel tank and hooking up the lines
- Replace injector return line
- Bolt up starter motor
Then that's just going to leave the wiring to do. Hopefully that's not overly difficult (thanks to Rossco's tips)

Last night I ended up swapping out the broken engine mount, replacing the injector return line and started to plumb in the vacuum hoses and fuel filter. All these little jobs take so much time. I think my goal of getting it running by this Sunday is a little ambitious.

Update:
Big night tonight, a few rums and some music and I smashed out the progress.
Figuring out fuel lines took me a little bit, also mounting the filter. The vacuum lines were equally confusing but thanks to Rossco's conversion pics I was able to figure it out.

Now I'll wire her up, chuck some fluids in it, plumb in the diesel tank and take it for a drive!

Thanks guys, It's refreshing knowing that the end is in sight. Few little fiddly jobs left to do though.
I'm a bit concerned about the fuel lines though. I have a long range belly tank which was my petrol supply when I was running duel fuel. I'm not sure how I go about making sure that supply isn't used by the diesel (rear) tank is? I also need to open up the lines as they have been crimped off after the shock tower when the gas was installed.
