So after nearly 8 years of not running, and half of a wiring loom has been removed.
Ive finally got it started
I couldn't be happier knowing that i kina new what i was doing.
Also fuel tank is done just need to drill it and fit a bulkhead fitting as the pipe coming out of the tank has a tiny split.

So after a few problems with oil leaks and fuel leaks theve been rectified.
Fitted the intercooler and pipes for a test run before the engine is pulled out to strip the engine bay, as all the filler and paint is being removed to make sure its mint before paint.
Also starting making the cambelt cover to match my rb26 cam covers.

Clean the engine up and get that painted aswell.
