Looks very smart - whats the tiny bottle of Fairy liquid attached to the cylinder head for?

I think about 60/70 hrs so far .4/5 hrs at a time in between work .Self employed & work from home so I can juggle it by getting real working hours in either side

and that wouldn't have included the work I've done on the tarty BLING side :lol:

It will start 1st time, you know it !
