Well had major problems bleeding the brakes.  After two nights of hard slog, lying under the car and getting wet I finally got a firm pedal on the car.  Car was booked in for the MOT and it passed.  Woopee.  So car is now stripped out and ready for the track.  Just a few things left now before it goes on.  First of these are the tracking needs doing and I need to get the noise level of the exhaust checked with a decibel meter to make sure I will get in under the 100dB noise restriction at the track day.  The car isn't excessively loud but it may be border line.

Took part in my first track day today with Motorsport Events.  It was a total success and worth all the hard work.  The car didn't miss a beat.  It even passed the noise regs at 95.1 dB(A).  Here are some pics.
