She Lives!
Well after 8 months of Building, I finally got to the Engine to start (at 1:00 am this morning. Glad there are no neighbours around).
What a feeling, just a few more essentials to do, then I can take it for it's maiden drive..... I Can't Wait

Well done that man. I can only imagine how good that must feel. Im not far behind so will hoefully be able to share the experience soon.
8 months - bloody hell, you are motoring with your build (pardon the pun!).
If that Ferrari is yours - you should put sticker in back window "my other car is an Mk Indy!"

Good feeling innit! For me it was almost as good as passing SVA for some bizzare reason.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Some Minor problems with a sticky fuel pump (followed by some stupidity by me - clamped the fuel line to take the pump out..... and forgot to unclamp
it again)
Other than that it all went smoothly, didn't run it for long, but it ran smoothly.

She Lives! ..... and Goes
A few days after starting the engine for the first time, I took it for a very short drive, it was great!!!
Just need to crack on with some finishing touches now and get that SVA booked
