The stuff I learn on a car site…:grimacing:

Wait until you hear the extended translation.


How does it run?

We now have a new member of the running SS engine family.
How do you load a video? At present it is in MOV file format but dragging and dropping it doesnt work?
Cheers.

Maybe try Youtube…

That’s the fuel pump making that ticking. It’s the noisiest thing in engine.

Hey! That’s cheating. It looks as if you have a radiator, a rocker cover and a wiring loom rather than just a screwdriver to operate the starter. :shushing_face: Oh, and an exhaust system.

Just need my steering column completed and it will be laps around the block.

Bloody beautiful! Didn’t even seem to smoke much.

Love the Desmo leaping cat shot off a fence!
Don’t leave your Mark V bonnet unsupported like that, it will tear a crack in the hinge at the ends. I made 3/4" oak dowel sticks with rubber furniture leg tips to hold the bonnets up.
