I have finally got to the stage of powering up and programming the ECU for Harry 911. Fingers crossed we are getting very close to start up.

The build of Harry 911 has been almost 5 years now all building up to this, but will it actually start?

Well done Jeff! I was watching your latest video whilst cooking the kids supper. I gave you a cheer when it fired up! Well done.

Last time I got it running, just. In this episode I go through and trouble shoot a bunch of the little issues to get Harry 911 running nice and smooth.

It is great to see you going through the snags so calmly and getting a good result, excellent, easy to learn something every episode.

If you have not yet linked to the Alfa project, do so asap!

Thanks guys. It is definitely interesting doing 2 vastly different projects at once as I need to keep switching my thinking back and forth between the two. The Alfarrari is a lot of fun and hopefully my quality is getting better and better with each build.

Now that Harry 911 is running, I need to finish a bunch of little things off so that I can actually drive it.

There are still a few jobs left to sort out before I can take Harry for it's first test drive and brake lights is one of them.

In this episode I finally sort out the bulk of my wiring issues on Harry 911 and start to tackle the braking system... it doesn't exactly go to plan.

I have been watching a few of your videos Jeff which are quite informative. You certainly showed me how not to take a front spring off an Alfa Guilia GT but your work is cracking.

Haha, DEFINITELY don't take the spring off how I did the first one.
