Well done Guy and what a great choice of kit/engine. Don't listen to Merv, he realises his mistake after going back to the boat anchor brigade.
Your progress has been similar to mine but while I have a decent back yard, because I'm renting the cramped garage has been the problem. Looking back I'm grateful that I've had the time to properly research a few things - I guess that's one upside.
Did you purchase VDO gauges, Howards Instruments or... other?
Best of luck and remember, without pictures it didn't happen!
