oh yes !!!! 
remember to fit the thrust bearing first time when fitting the box Kids ,i spotted it on top of the tool-box just before fitting the donk with the box attached
wake up mick 
finally got the box refitted and the zaust fanimould bolted up and strapped up for the angle of dangle
good use of a small trolly jack on the box to level the job up as i lowered into place.[removed steering linkage
]
a bit of jiggling and swearing and it's home
bolted the box to the floor and got all the toys away before it pixxed down with rain,not much left to do now so a couple of beers are in order i think
cheers for the encouragement to do it on me own, it got me motivated

started to box things up today,i forgot to put the clutch slave cylinder on last time so a quick lower of the g/box and that was done,then bolt up the prop while the box was lowered.all that's left underneath is the heat shield and zaust.
i got some engine bay work done,well the loom all plugged in and back across the bulkhead,plugged in the coil pack and a few other odds and sods,just waiting for the top half of the inlet which i pick up on sunday and it should be running on monday
i need to get on with the wheels over the weekend,they are still looking unloved
half way through doing a bit,

Manifold looks good mate!
Maxxis are ok too. For a budget they are about the best.
Stop messing about with them RG's and get them coated.
