Kevin came over today .so now the down pipes are fitted. Run the engine up to temp and all is well, no leaks or drips. Switched off and after a few checks i sat myself in the drivers seat , pressed the start button, engine starts, clutch down , in gear and away i go - 1 foot forward and 1 foot back that will do for its first move under its own power in 60 years.
