I now definitely see the merit in those people who cut away the radiator support and bolt it up, it was an absolute bitch to get the gearbox on the motor even without a clutch by myself. Resorted to dropping out crossmember, swaybar and steering arm and bolting them together on the floor before lifting up. Sort of ran out of time after everything else I have been busy with but the gearbox looks in the right position now, hopefully if I am not too busy or lazy during the week I'll weld up the holes and crossmembers.

anyway pics of the crustyness.
