Got really lucky last night. Was able to swap clock spring from Donor to build. The Air Bag light now goes through the test sequence and then extinguishes. Martin thank you for the advice. 
So this morning with a heavy heart I went out to the Jimny thinking a lot of things like "please don't have me lift the body off again to do a fuel pump swap " or "please don't let it be the ECU" or "please don't let it be a damaged fuel line". 

So I sat in and turned the key and there was on buzz /hum from the fuel pump priming in the back just before ignition. So it's either electrical or mechanical at the pump. Had a look in the main fuse box beside the battery all the big fuses are intact and all the 15 amp blue ones are intact also. So power is being sent to all locations, Right beside that fuse box is the location of 2 relays one is the main and the second is the Fuel pump relay .
So I was able to reach the key and listen to feel a click in the realy and the main one-clicked but nothing out of the fuel pump relay . So got the two relays out of the donor and gave them a spray of contact cleaner and popped one in and bang, the pump primed and Jimny ticked over the first turn, and is now kicking over better than it has been since the rebuild. 
What I noticed up to yesterday evening was Jimny was icking over  650/700 rpm on the OBDii app almost stalling and just wondering was this a warning sign. I was doing a lot of on-off yesterday as I checking the AIRBAG  light was really staying off and this might have cooked the relay but thats my advice .
Jimny not getting fuel to start, check the fuel pump primer relay first.
