First start!
 
After four years, finally started the engine yesterday! It's a 2l silvertop zetec with 40mm Jenveys and an omex ecu, kit spares exhaust manifold and Yamaha R1 exhaust can. It's running on a base map provided by omex, so needs a rolling road session, but not bad!

I know if there's no video it didn't happen, so have look below!

Really got the enthusiasm to finish this thing now!

Looks amazing Adrian, great job :)

How much to do until it moves under its own power?

a milestone has been past:D

i cant wait to get my zetec running
what alternator and mount did you go for?

adrianreeve 12th March 2012 09:56 PM

Thanks for the comments guys.

Ayjay, caught my nuts on the light stalk on the steering column as I bent over the dash!

Baz, went for a Lucas alternator, because someone gave me a brand new one and it seemed rude not to use it! Made my own mount and adjuster, both seem to be working fine!

Cheers
