Hello everybody,
Thought I’d spread the joy, got my VortX outside for the first time last night and got it running... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTIBAjbfZbk

Should have it in a state for little "go" this weekend, IVA papers and cheque sent of yesterday. It’s all coming together now!

Have a good one!

Well done elwood, you must be well chuffed is 106 your chassis number if it is mine is 107 collected mine September 2008 a month before you i am not far behind you in getting car going.

Had a look through your blog you mention the car in the crate at MNR that was there when i visited.

Best of luck with IVA.

It's a great feeling when you get to see it outside

chassis number sounds about right as mine is 111 and i picked mine up December 08

Thanks for the kind comments guys.
It was great to see it outside, an old lady walking past said "that looks like it'll take a long time to finnish"
I'm hoping not.

The chassis is 109, user name pre-dates my build (ref to the blues brothers).

Shall post up a 1st drive vid over the weekend.

Have a good one
Will

I have to say, cracking your engine up for the first time makes all that hard work well worth while.

Looks good.

sounds very good. wish my engine was working that well - as it has done but not anymore for some reason.
