You might see it before then.
Yeah, that could be true too!

It took a bit of persuasion but it's in! Not the easiest to do alone with a couple of trolley jacks but like everything else I had to give it a go.
I went with removing the driveshafts in the end, I hadn't torqued up the hub nuts yet so removal took just a few minutes.

What a fantastic car this is. I know a magazine that would maybe like to feature it...

Looking good. The only downside is soon there won't be more updates of your awesome project for us to look forward to!

It works!
After a full day yesterday buttoning up and double checking everything all that was left to do this morning was to add oil and fuel.
Once I knew I had oil pressure I was good to go. It took a while to get going but after it fired it settled to a nice idle as I ran around checking for leaks. Seems there's an oil leak on one of the cam covers that needs addressing but other than that all seems good so far.
I'm ecstatic!
