Yep , drove it out and had a brush up.

Brakes working , ignition and starter all on the key now , rear axle and gearbox fluid in , gearbox seems to work but no throttle yet , one hand on wheel and one hand on the carb:) it's really low, sills are 4" from ground .. Next job is fabricate a bulkhead with a hatch of some kind to enable access to back of engine then add throttle then find someone to wire everything up properly. Wonder if APH electrical would fancy it?
