Managed to get my car running with much needed oil pressure and now plenty of it at that!

Feels like a major mile stone, just to to strip the electrics off and sort a few bits out and tidy it up now I know what needs to go where to get her running.

Quite impressed with how much quicker it picks up revs too without the aircon/pas/clean air pump fitted.

Fingers crossed for an IVA next year!
