Just tested your ecu and it works fine on mine, so the interior can be put back together and the loom taped up, probably didnt get dash lights cos the inlet wasnt connected

waiting for the orange paint now to spray the inlet manifold and cam covers so can put some fluids in and start the engine up to check things run.

yeh car not running now sensor problem hopefully. but front end is all back on including headlights etc except bumper, all engine bits and pieces connected up. clutch cable on.

so jujst fluids and exhaust to do once the starting problem is resolved should be driving next weke hopefully sumtime.
