firstly, a massive thanks to ian (ian332isport)
for helping me out with the wiring for this project
and for putting up with my endless telephone calls (is this right ian?....is that right ian?....)

it's 95% done, just a couple of little things to get done for the mot,
windscreen washer's / headlights etc
i used a supersprint backbox and straight through system, and it sound's perfect.

the first few seconds after start-up was the most worrying, hoping the oil pump picks the oil up, but that was no problem.

so, a few more evenings / weekends and she'll be on the road.
