Engine start (part 1)

Finished the wiring today and tried turning over the engine for the first time:


Everything appears to be working. It won't catch because there's no fuel, but I'll try it with the fuel tank tomorrow.

Very exciting... it's close to being a working car. If I put it in gear I can see the gearbox output shaft spinning.

  2. Not yet, there is a bit of bodywork left to do first. Also I haven't yet got the propshaft or exhaust - propshaft is ready but exhaust is experiencing delays apparently so had better wait for that.
