Father, son and a V8

does as well.
Hah, maybe!
Things on the list after this refit is completed:
New seat belts
Gearbox recondition with new gears,
New straight through exhaust system with long tube headers,
New brake lines
New fuel lines
Explorer upper and lower air intake (similar to Cobra Mustang intake but cheaper!)
70mm throttle body

So the leak continues, but we've finally located the cause:
That hole you see? That shouldn't be there.
We currently have two choices, use magic metal to plug up the hole and hope for the best - or source a timing cover. I'm of the opinion that a new cover should be used as the one we have is clearly on the way out.
So off to eBay and owners clubs I go to source a suitable part.
Speaking of things on the way out, take a look at this two year old dizzy cap:
Here's how it should look:
Adding this to the list of things that weren't connected, split or just broken I am constantly astounded that the car ran in the first place.

Latest update, we have MAS!
Chris has done a great job of turning this wire conversion kit:
Into a stock looking setup:
This should clear the check engine light, as the ECU will now be getting the right information from the fuel pump and the shiny new mass air setup.
Pending the arrival and fitment of the new timing cover to fix the coolant leak we will be good to go!
All I need to do is get some cigars, book the mot and sort out fresh tax and I'll be back on the road.
