Well, I've been out of action for a while with family health issues, and some of my own - dog decided to try to claw my eyeball out of my face recently, in fact, I'm posting this from the comfort of my bed... - but the fairies have been doing all those time consuming finished touches whilst I've been MIA. Clutch pedal and mountings are finished and the hydraulics piped up, fuel pump and filters remounted, and they've just finished a nice little cover for the dry sump belt.
Not something that's much of an issue for the tarmac boys, but I'm not sure I want to see what happens with 9000rpm's and an engine bay full of mud and rocks...
Anyway, nice tap fit bosses with seals for the pump casing, and there's a Lexan cover to be sealed over the front so we can inspect the belt without having to break any seals if not required:

switched idiot lights out for LED's (which then required ripping them to bits and trying to add diodes and ballast resistors in the case of the alternator charging light....good fun trying to solder them in a space about 8mm x 4mm.....lots of swearing, some burnt fingers.
Anyway, kettle went on, coffee came out, shiny lights:
As promised, new front bonnet, ignore the steel box section, it was just there to hold the front square whilst welding as it's fairly thin aluminium, it's on hinges now and will get a gas ram lifter fitted to secure it, much easier to work on if you break down away from the service area then.
And new floorpan is on, new bulkhead, seat mounts, pedals, etc:
