Started the engine today. No real issues, it was a bit reluctant to run well but with no exhaust or air cleaners, it was expecting a lot. I fitted some air filters after we recorded the video and it ran a lot better. With an exhaust it should be perfect.

We went out after dinner to clip up some brake pipes and tidy up some loose ends but somehow one thing led to another, it was after 10:30 pm before we called it a day. We started to make the engine side covers, we will roll the bonnet through the English Wheel tomorrow, another milestone. I am not going to form the engine side louvers at this stage, I want to get the panels completed first before I start to make the tooling for the louvers.
