Not a very exciting day, but I still managed/bothered to get up off of my ass to sort out a few issues that needed rectifying! So:

- Attempted to install the Zep Racing floor brace; attempt failed
- The turbocharger is no clocked in the correct position
- The engine timing is now spot-on (turns out, I should ignore timing marks left be previous assemblers, as they're idiots)
- Installed the NGK IX Iridium Spark plugs
- Installed the new clutch release bearing on the C56 gearbox

So at this point, I'm literally waiting for cambelt covers and gearbox bolts to arrive, once these do, I will enlist the help of a friend to assemble the engine to the gearbox, then all that will be left, other than getting some coolant, and shortening the braided hoses for the oil feed, is to swap the engines!

So very nearly there..
