Today was the day I'd been waiting for for some time. The twin cam engine for the Lotus Cortina was finally finished, complete and ready for collection. I had started to run out of jobs to do on the car, but now with the engine finished I can get ready to fit it and then see if there are any other parts missing and start working towards getting the engine running, and the car driving for the first time in FORTY NINE years!
So this week, I will start getting the engine bay ready and fitting the engine mounts and start organising the engine electrics. (Plugs, leads, etc) The plan will be to fit it over the long bank holiday weekend and then take my time and make sure everything is spot on before the big fire up. I'm looking forward to it!
