    Here is the start-up video. She started straight away. I had her running for about 8mins with no signs of leaks. Now I just need to attend to a couple of minor things before she goes for the first drive.

    Yep..... I hope to have final Engineer inspection this week, then RWC & Reg by end of next week.
    I'm just yet to decide on Full or Permit registration.

    Here is a video of the first drive. The only issue I had was that the Vintique throttle spoon pedal stripped the spline on the second drive..... cheap Chinese Rubbish. So i'm off to buy another one to enjoy more test drives.

    My Engineer conducted the final inspection today which included a braking test and general safety inspection. He passed the car and issued me with his Engineering certification.
    This now means I am free to register the car. I hope to get that done this week and then debut it at the Vic Hot Rod Show on the 22nd Jan.

    What a thing of beauty. Be careful you don't cause too many accidents with other people trying to check out the car when they are driving by. :rolleyes:
