WOW,,, how fooking happy am I

we had no oil pressure at first, but it was just a combination of flat'ish battery very dry engine (not sure how long it's been standing) and us being impatient

but's she running, good oil and fuel pressure


ROLL on BEDFORD

well my engine is finished, just got to fit it and get it running. I think I will be trailering it there as time is against me to get it MOT'd

Look forward to seeing the "Noddy Mobile"
