Over the next few months i had some pretty bad luck...
Had to get the windscreen replaced 3 times in 4 weeks.
One was a chip i had since i bought the car that escalated.
Second was my mates car throwing a stone at my windscreen.
Third was a lorry that dropped debris and again, cracked my windscreen. (ON THE SAME ROAD)

Now the fun stuff...
Purchased a TD04L. Just to be safe, got it rebuilt...

After:

Once rebuilt, got bored one friday so decided to bolt it on... After pulling the K14 off in half an, compared them both in size, then got to work bolting it up!
K14 and TD04!

After a bit of modifying to the bulkhead with an air powered chisel and a hammer. Finally got the turbocharger in place.

After getting the TD04L bolted up. As a few of you know, had a few problems with the boosting on it. Turns out the wastegate was being slightly help open by the actuator arm. Fixed the problem, took off that horrific bleed MBC valve and i'm not running it with actuator connected atm, but as soon as i get a Bosch pump on it (couldn't find one at the time, got one in the post right now hopefully) i'll get a ball and spring on it as i have one waiting to on on...
Lucas pumps aren't fully useless in my experience. After a bit of playing about with it, i get good solid boost from 2,800 rpm all the way to 4,800 rpm. It's alright, but again, could do with more.
Next to get thrown in was phase 2 rear lights... Wiring = typically french. Didn't match the wiring diagram in the Haynes manual, so me and my mate just worked all the switched and followed the board to see which pin did what.

Right, as you can see in the above image, the rear axle didn't look in best shape. Got a new axle off my mate and the following day got to work throwing it on! Took me and a few of my mates all of 10 minutes to pull the axle off the donor car! Comparable to an F1 pit stop! You'll also noticed i fitted a drum type back axle. New wheel bearings, shoes and slave cylinders with new cables next week hopefully!
(this is me admiring what my car would look like lowered, as it had a rear axle and my tool box in the boot!)

Took me a few hours and a bit of shouting to get my old rear axle off...

After fitting the rear axle, i had a bit of a problem with my brakes in the way of my master cylinder died. Fitted a new (D Turbo) one and re-bled all the brakes, twice and it drives okay, but still it needs a GTi-6 MC!
Here she is now!

Next thing to hopefully get done is get the Bosch pump on when it finally arrives...
Updates to follow, thank you for your time.
