Re: She STARTED!!!
Well done Ricky.
It feels like a milestone in a build once you've got the heart pumping..............No matter how many cars you've built.
I started one for the first time yesterday afternoon and drove it around the industrial estate about 20 minutes later. It passed SVA this morning.......Now that is cutting it fine!!!!

Re: She STARTED!!!
Yes alot longer.... but im doing some extra bits i didnt plan to do... i decided to strip the chassis down and rebuild to make sure it was done right. also the loom for the engine took alot longer too. but getting there.
