Quick observation.
The body will not go back on with the roll bar in position.
Remove the mount brackets, slide the rubbers inboard, cable tie the bar to the verticals with it sitting above the mount plates. Then it will clear.

Good spot!

Thanks Steve - I wouldn't of known until the body was sitting on them!

More pictures...see if we can spot anything else.

I will put it out of the garage over coming days to get some clear pics up

There is one thing that is bothering me - I think I may of got a bit carried away with the paint!

I have painted the toothed wheel that the speed sensors reads from.... now I have painted it, will this effect the operation of the sensor?

The metal tangs break a magnetic field as they pass so you should be okay so long as the gap is correct.

I'm of the same opinion

Looking good, the picture blurs close up, if those bottom wishbone to chassis bolts are going through from front to rear once the body goes on they might not come out so shouldn’t they be with the nut this side rather than the head, so with the body on you can just pull them out. Same with the rears. Is this the engine you were talking about

[Dave85chim]

yes good spot! I do have to change the bolts on the lower four wishbones - its on my list!

Yes this was the engine! pretty chuffed with it to be honest!

Fills a big hole and all in one go.
