Right, first off, this IS the first time my car has been started in 3 and a bit months, i did not try it before hand to save embarasment  Embarrassed  and then film it again afterwards Grin
After the initial checks and prep work (top up oil, Check water, steering fluid, fill with petrol and dissconnect battery charger) I was ready to turn the key, check the video to find out how it went.

18 litres of Shell's finest.



I must admit even i wasn't expecting that!!! i did give it a couple of secs to prime the fuel pump first before the final twist of the key. As you can tell from the silly noise, i was quite pleased  Grin  Grin  Grin  Grin  Grin  Grin  Grin  Grin

There is a lot to be said for these RS200's   Cool

Just waiting for the damn bumpers and wheels now.

Looks like i missed an  '0'  or could it be that i also found a Rally beast where i was working too and stowed that in the back of the van as well.

Nah no point in converting it as i am buying the Cossie next (big turbo Escort  Cheesy )

Aubergine,aurilis blue, imperial blue, Mallard green, Petrol blue (again), jewel violet(monte carlo), white, red, black. I think that covers all the colours and they are in order of favorite. Colour doesn't really bother me too much to be honest.

I know youve heard it all before but the bits SHOULD be coming back tuesday night, i have started to polish it today, but as it is looking decidedly shite outside i thought i would come indoors, (its still not raining though so i probably could have stayed outside) Then Tax and Tyres are needed and its there.
