Default Diary update - First Start

Hi folks just updated my build diary - www.deepfolly.co.uk . I have only updated part 5, I have now had the engine running and have started to tidy up the wiring and start work on the instrument panel wiring. The alternator is in and working, it's getting quite exciting now

Good going. I too am in the process of finishing off / tidying up my loom. I'm not a big fan of wiring. Just want it done with now, so I can move on!

That's really going well Dave and a great build diary - you certainly have been a busy bloke.

You could quite easily go for an Autumn IVA the way you are going.


Well Done....AndyH

Hi folks, thank you all for your kind words of encouragement.
Andy, I reckon I could go for an Autumn IVA but don't know if I will or not. Half of me thinks that financially it is better to wait until next spring when I can then tax it for 6 months then put it on SORN. If I do it in the Autumn I can see me getting about 50 miles use from 6 months road fund
Might change my mind, I quite often do
Dave.

Nice work Dave, like the solution to the exhaust system and the fuel pump clamp is a great idea

Keep up the good work!

Matt
