Now, having put all the fluids in for the corner weights etc, it was decided that we should try to start it! Not having a full loom, I had to throw some wires at the fuel pump and water pumps etc, and run the computer as a dash! Excuse the image/sound quality, I recorded this with my camera, not really a video camera! The smoke coming out from in front of the engine is the exhaust wrap ‘drying’ off so no need to worry there!

When do I get my first works drive?
