first attempt to run the engine didn't go too well as someone forgot to connect a fuel pipe
so it burst into flames.
luckily it was very quickly put out and no major damage done

Larry took some time off work today so he could fit the seat belts
but before he started on them he fitted the most important thing to the car
the DDK badge and
it looks good
