    Corin got it to move a few inches in fourth gear today. Engine, though, is sweet as a nut.

    Behind the scenes, we have made some progress:
    Corin has got the TV working, this despite the tuner being in 18" of water for the last few years!! (never let it be said that we don't concentrate on the important issues).
    All the electrics including seats work, bar the sunroof (needs a new motor). The IPK shows a mileage of 7000. The all important ECU is present and is marked as experimental not for commercial use - apparently it has RAM rather than ROM.
    We have purchased a brand new complete engine and auto box and sundry other bits including rear lights, new slam panel and crash bar, front bumper with headlight wash, door mirrors and a boot spoiler.
    The story will continue.......

    You seem to be making amazing progress, but as they say, the proof the pudding ...

    Hope it continues to go well.
