Finally after a hard slog and a fair bit of money the chevette finally runs started up after a few mins fuel pressure is abit dodgy so im gonna get rid of the facet pump and filter and just run the r1 fuel pump as it puts it at exactly the correct pressure, then just need an exhaust and tyres and a cooling system plumbing up and she should be driveable. Exhaust and tyres are getting sorted on friday so not long now. Bring on the ring 3 months and counting . Im one happy man has proved that all the effort was worth it here are a few more recent pics
