I've been very busy :P
Seats have been re-trimmed.

I fitted the engine and box as a complete unit from underneath using a commercial vehicle transmission jack to lift it accurately.

..and have started bolting it together from the top.

Kas,

On the subject of lifting engine and box in one lump.

When I done a clutch on my MK2 RS2000 years ago, I can remember taking the x-member bolts out and putting 4 inch bolts in one at atime and then dropping the entire gearbox / engine down four inches.

This was needed due to cleartance problems between bellhousing and tunnel.
