My Duratec First Start :)

Well, after an aborted attempt yesterday, managed to track down an Oil Switch today.

Added the oil, checked the wiring and after a little turning over got the oil pressure light off. Connected up the OMEX and





Then, needed to give the new hydraulic clutch a quick check, so what better way than a little drive (not me driving by the way...I am much older than that .)





Am so pleased. I was getting very down about the lack of progress and came close to listing it for sale. Had to remember that it has had a huge change in spec etc from the Pinto setup I had.

It is going to have the exhaust adjusted this week, get the cooling sorted and then tidy a few things up. Then off to have a rolling road map done....

Cheers Guys,

Am still smiling. I was getting very down with it, but when I stood back last night and worked out what has changed on the car, realised that it has had a huge upgrade from where it was.
