    well it moves :D drove up my drive way on its own effort:dance:

    bleed the clutch too get it working but i get the mecahnic too bleed it tommorow too as its still a bit empty at the top of the pedal
    also bleed the coolant again too be sure:p best safe then sorry

    also put the bonnet on but that was once i brought it back down from the top of the drive

    tommorow morning it will be easyer now for the towie, no need to park across the road too winch the car up :p
    i can drive it onto the flat. so he will be happy

    well had a hicup with exhaust,
    the supplier sold the exhuast from under the guy so he wasnt too happy,
    there shipping one over from perth this weekend so tuesday he reckon all should be swell

    while i was hanging around at the work shop i played with the idle and got it sitting better,
    turned the idle up on the computer and adjusted the idle on the manifold
    much better and wont splutter and try stall when driving now


    coolant is down a little in the radiator but i just got to keep a eye on it too make sure its all bleed fine, will bleed it a few times more and make sure there is no probs

    tommorow will be painting all my last parts then while there baking in the booth polish everything else,

    ill be stone guarding under the car while its being polished and just tidy everything up and make sure all is good.

    once bar is cooled down ill be able too fit it too:D
