hey guys anouther update, fitted some better and newer uprated shocks and springs there 30% shorter than standard :O see pic compared to my old shortend shocks they feel so much stiffer so should handle better now along with my strut braces e.t.c when i get them the rear sits exactly how iv been wanting to now so once engines fitted it should be perfecto! forgot to get during pics
also got all gearbox bits refitted release bearing clutch arm new diff seals e.t.c so shes all good to go for the engine refit next weekend!

update again
got the engine fitted yesterday at work so was far easier than in the drive!
had the old one out in no time took around 3 hours from starting to fit to starting with this one fitted was in no rush really tho all whent rather well just one bummer of a downside it wont start without giving it abit of throttle and wont idle at all think its either the idle control valve or throttle position sensor as soon as you let go of the throttle it just dies runs fine when you rev it up but at low revs its lumpy e.t.c going to change them sensors sometime this week and thingers crossed its fixed! dont have muchg luck tho only thing i can think of really must have seized up bin sat around and full of oil from the last engine wel see,
also after a last minute buy on ebay and a 5 hour sunday drive bought this set of calibra leather was a fun jorney day out only cost £80 even got door cards not that i need them but its in good condition slight wear to drivers bolster not split though and just wants a general clean up should look bob on after some leather care and a good wash going to wire the heated seats in to hopfully just need to find a diagram on how to do it heres some pics of iot all
