I was impressed when it started better than most new cars.
Yeah, it only doesn't start like that when it's been stopped for a week and the fuel drains back down the tube and the fuel pump has to re-prime and fill up the lines again.

Put it in already!
Needs to make brablbrablbrabl and drive like dream.
That photo was late last night. I didn't fancy attempting to hack it whilst tired. There's a lot of "...was sadly crushed to death under vehicle in his garage and not found until the following morning" potential.
If I have time I'll put it in tonight. Brbrbrbrbrbl will have to wait because I need new radiator hoses and I'm out all weekend in Houston.
Bloody heavy thing it is. Managed to get it sitting in. Bolting the rear cradle in was a pig of a job.

However, engine is in and engine runs. Flushed some old stale fuel out of the lines and got it running briefly.
Next up is to connect up the propshaft to the gearbox, fit a few ancillary things and get the cooling system put together. Also need to work on sealing the manifold a little better...
