Due to being laid off for the day, I've spent it in the sunshine working on the Ginetta.

LP fuel pump, clutch cable and door handle/locks all done.

Yes - But prepping for IVA. Re-filled with coolant, bled system, and installed freshly charged battery.
Ignition - choke (its a Xflow!) - and turn the key. Cough-coughfartBANG, and we're running!! Big grin on face - exhaust isn't too noisy, though haven't tested it in the open yet. Everything seems to work, insofar as the engine is concerned. Might have to spend more dosh (surprise, surprise!!) on some decent hose clips, to further limit water leaks.

Must strobe check timing, just to be sure (Next job).





Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!
