Well as i said i would take a coupe of vids of first start up, I did remeber lol

First i thought i would take a couple of pictures of it finished under the bonnet and with the lights on hehe

The first video is us trying to get the oil going round the engine before we fired it up.
The second video we got everything wired up including the old plug leads(new ones never came til 3) and it wouldn't start :( :?
Forgot to plug the fuel pump in :blush:
The last video its finally running :bounce: Got to love the noise of a lumpy engine with cams in it, Ignore the tappy noise, It went away after a few mins of it running.
