Yippee

Got my car started for the first time today As you may imagine I'm a very happy bunny and my face is starting to ache from the size of my grin.

Thanks to everyone who's helped me out during my build and as is compulsory here are some videos of the big event -

Well done mate, its such a great day starting her up for the first time, you had slightly better luck than me, I had injection fuel delivery issues.

Next big milestone, TEST DRIVE!!!!!!

I will crack open beer to celebrate for you!

Cool Super cool

Fantastic news Dave

Sounding great, I can well imagine how pleased you are feeling, a huge milestone to reach ( You both sound very pleased in the video )

Inlet manifold looks just the ticket & the carbs look great on the engine

Soon be ready for a little test spin
