    Boss has gone to WA so I snuck out and purchased some more bits for the build.

    I also realised the power steering brackets are different so my GQ bracket won't fit.

    Little surprises are cropping up but no biggy.

    So far the differences that effect my bolt ons are...

    Vac pump
    Power steering bracket
    Flywheel
    Some ports on the block not needed
    Dipstick length
    Haven't checked alternator mounts yet but should be ok.
    Clutch to flywheel fits thank god! I heard some only have 2 holes for the 4 x locators on flywheel but all good for me.
    Oil feed for turbo
    Oil drain might need adjusting

    So far these are fine and should all be bolted up on the weekend...

    Engine mounts
    Inlet manifold
    Exhaust manifold
    Water pump
    oil cooler
    Rocker cover
    Alternator and mounts I hope
    Air Con
    Pulleys
    Injector pump, surely the fuel lines would be the same?
    Glow plugs,
    Injectors, glow rail, etc
    Sandwich plate
    Need to get the old spigot bush out, haven't got a puller so going to try the old grease and clutch tool trick!
    Can't think of anything else?

    Bit of a list for myself
    Need Power steering bracket
    Need tacho sensor spacer
    Need injector number 3 fixed and all new washers for them
    Vac pump cover plate
    New oil, coolant, etc.
