Today was the day!

First thing was to move the engine of the crate and go through everything before putting it in as its easier when the engines out

Moving the engine with the crane was a complete pitta but after 30 minutes i got it in the right place haha. Took about half an hour to put the engine in with the help of the girlfriend... end result:

Started connecting everything up , so far so good!

Tomorrow i'll get anything connected up and ready to start the beast...

Fuse box is spot on.

The 3 leads from the battery negative go to the ECU, the slam panel and..............
