I ran out of pipe, Ordered more, Its something not essential for that first start At least mine won't be run for long without it!

I'd love to have a blue plug smashed off my head, That could be a fun game.

The hope is, If its all nicely done it might not be hard to keep it clean Probs not though

On the other hand though, the 12v bay went from being clean to covered in crap, I cba to clean it lol

Bit of a weird week, I won't go into detail why, But spent the morning on this.

So First thing I did was spin it over with no plugs in, Oil light went out, put plugs in, Ht leads on and....
It fired up straight away.
I got a vid of it running, But beware, Its fucking noisy , The lifters have to fill with oil before it will shut up, Its only been run for a couple of mins so far.


Then moved it, Sweept up where it was parked, Then washed it.



Engine pic


Shaun, Look at this, A Breather hose onto the rocker, Now isn't that useful


Still got to get new HT leads and/or tidy them up.
Prob lots of other stuff to sort too

In other news, The green corsa that started this all off, And that the DVLA have been taking there sweet time with sorting the logbook, Its being collected tonight, Thank fuck, So one last snap of how it looks now.


Thats basically the end of the decent updates, Boring ones from now on lol

Hoses are something for the future, Got loads of other more important stuff to buy first.

Hoses will prob come at the same time as I repaint some of the bay.

New plates are something for the future, Plan to get 3/4 plate again I think.

Wheels aren't staying, White ones from the 12v will go back on.

Willay, I don't know about that lol.

Speaking of wheels, Do I keep these wheels, refurb and new tyres, Or go for another set? I don't want speedlines, softstars or anything like that, Don't want Tigra 5spokes again either, And I don't want to spend a lot as after all, the looks is a second thing on this car.
