It lives, Igor, it LIVES!

Today I finally had the moment I’ve been waiting for for months – I drove R477 KRU. OK, only up the road due to various legal issues, but enough to find that it has all the gears it should do and goes OK. Maybe the nightmare is coming to an end. Jobs completed today include:
- Final check of all levels, etc before takeoff.
- Fitted bonnet pins
- Fitted harness eyebolts
- Fitted drivers’ seat
- Fitted exhaust
- Tested all electrical mods (all working OK)
- Fitted air horns, compressor and relay
- Various odds and sods
So, that means I actually have a car that could be usable in a week’s time. I have the MOT booked for next Tuesday morning, and this weekend there will be lots of other things to do to get it ready for that, but the handy thing is that there’s not a lot to do to get it totally ready, aside from sorting out the engine mapping, which with a wideband O2 sensor, some careful driving and the handy DTA box I’ve made (more on this later) means that it won’t take me long at all. Cool. Finally.
