Bad news on the donor, turns out the diff is seized so deposit has been returned and a new donor purchased off gum tree in better nick for less money only problem is its it north London! Unfortunately I'm away in Whitley bay on a job until a week next Thursday so progress has stalled a bit.
Did manage to pick up an eBay bargain though in the form of a triumph 1500 fwd head assembly, brand new and still in its original packing grease. Told by my triumph guru it's a straight swap for the spitfire one but has larger valves so will breath better.
All acquired an overdrive gearbox as the original donor was a 4 speed, new donor comes with I'd so looks like I'm building up a spares shelf already!
