Today Six months of hard work has reached its climax for me,in that time i have gone from knowing nothing about 4 cam engines to rebuilding most of the engine and completing the cam timing and at 1601 GMT my focal point rumbled in to life,once she had settled in i ran her up to 3 grand to hear that ripping roar that a multi valve 7litre V8 makes,my challenge has paid off so i would like you all to take a free beer token and raise your glasses tonight to......success.

:drink::beer::drink:



Any one else just completed or in the middle of a challenge,what is it and how did it come about?

A new engine eh? freshly fired up, fantastic

I will drink to that, just cracked open a Balvenie doublewood (it was on offer, so I had to).

7l V8 newly fired up, wonderful.

Just downed a couple of Hoegaarden, but the mention of Balvenie will maybe move me on to a fine bottle of Scapa I have handy...

That is a really nice car you've got there ZR1cliff.

A black Corvette is on my list of cars I have to own at some point (if I fit in one).
