Slightly bigger update - head has come off, everything is nice and shiny now, head gasket replaced, ARP head studs added, valve stem seals replaced, and the HKS cams will soon have a nice new home:

Update time!

Pretty much all the mechanicals are done now apart from catch can and a few odds and ends - and the obvious missing radiator, which I have been promised will be in country next week.
