Might as well do a small update on this.
Seeing as the diesel one is in daily use the ramp was free so I put the petrol one in undercover.
Found a bit of enthusiasm over xmas to hook the engine out and clean the bay up. Original engine seemed to be oil covered which, in turn, made one of the water pipes to the matrix soft and split hence causing the massive water leak.
Pressure washed the bay while I had the chance, and lifted the 1600 in.
Had a loom that had already been 'played' with but had a friend assisting with labelling up what was what. Autodata and Haynes had us confused over the fuel pump wire but worked it out in the end.
Labelled the car loom (what there is of it) and just need to joing everything up now.
Crank sensor had me stumped, plug on the loom is a 3 pin connector, so early type. Majority of what is used is a 2 pin one. Did find in a box of bits, an alloy bracket and sensor just didn't look like it mounted right (only test fitted for the moment). Seems to be the setup though like a 1.4 306, just need to find the plastic cover.
Dropped the tank to run couple new fuel lines and sort the pump, found typical crusty brake pipes and bit of rust beside the tank. Chopped a bit out one side to have a nose and need to get at the other side where someone has done a fantastic bodge to hide, what I'm guessing is, another hole.
More progress when I aquire some more welding gas.
