It's bloody well alive!

After having this car off the road for roughly 7 years and 3 engines, the latest engine has been over a year in the making, you can thank morspeed for that, luckily they only supplied the kit and didnt build it otherwise it would have been longer!

Last night a few mates came over, one manning the fire extinguisher, one looking for leaky things and me on the key, its took some time, but the damn thing runs! considering this is the first engine i've ever put together I'm pretty chuffed.




and then.......a few hours later

Well done fella! Good feeling when something you've slaved over finally works!

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

its a touch lumpy and i cant get it to idle less than 1200rpm but i had an almost continuous 12mins running from it this evening so my work here is done and i'll get it booked into a rolling road as soon as i can.

first 12mins of its life

Welcome to the club.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.
