IT RUNS!

Just thought I'd celebrate by telling everyone that after 3 years in the making it finally runs! Woohoo!

To all those of you who are still a long way off this moment and getting frustrated and disheartened with your build - stick to it, the moment is well worth it!

Need the obligatory video, congratulations.

Looks like a great car.

Congratulations! A huge moment when it actually does up and becomes a car.

COngratulations, just did this myself! Its even better if you rebuilt the engine yourself as I did.

Wheres the video?

No video unfortunately, I wasn't actually expecting it to start as it was the first try - it just fired almost instantly and scared the living daylight out of me! It really is a brilliant point to get to - all those horrible jobs left to do seem far less tedious now!

You'll be needing to update your "Building:" status as well, you now have a rather smart looking sports car, not a "pile of rusty scrap"

Believe me, having a nice car doesn't atop me collecting rusty scrap!!!
