Dont think the neighbours like the exhaust free pureness, I told them it will be loads better when I fit it.....
It was more, did you hear it, nope but I felt my house shaking!
It's idling very high but I haven't had a chance to play with anything yet, think I'll wait until the exhaust is fitted before I start playing with the engine much more.
Did manage to bleed the brakes though, small steps...

Now I'm happy she runs an everything is working ish, I'll secure the body to the chassis.
What are the tips, at the minute she seems to be sitting on just two rubbers next to the main chassis rails and not touching the outer ones, I guess just take a layer off the inside etc until shes sat flat on the chassis?

Mine originally had rubbers on the mounts just in front of the back wheels probably 3/4" to 1" thick built up with layers of rubber. Inners probably about 3/4" thick.
On the corner plates at the front they were probably 1/2" thick.
The best guide I found was to look down the outriggers to check the clearance between them and the body - mine were just a fraction proud of the bottom of the sill.
