Oil and watered up

As the title says, the engine now has fresh oil, and now the header tank is fitted, filled up with fresh water anti-freeze mix, i ordered a 3 meter length of red silicone hose from ebay to link the 8mm bleed off on the radiator to the header tank.
the gearbox has also had a dose of fresh 75/90w gearbox oil, but this was only when i was able to get the fill plug out out of the gearbox, little note make sure if you are going to change the gear box oil, make sure you crack the fill plug off before you install it into the car as access is a little tight, i had to make a hexed tool at work to remove the fill plug as it was very tight and with the aid of meter length of bar it was finally persuaded to come out.

now this is done i will soon hopefully be starting to look at getting the engine fired up for the first time since its rebuild.
