Looks fantastic, good luck with the engineering and look forward to seeing it, probably at a coffee and chrome. Cheers

Hi Brad,

had the tow truck on the street ready to start the car just as the clutch would  pedal all the way up pushed when the stalled.

I turned up the motor about 5 times with the stalled each time.

The electrical thinks there is an earth that's not 100% touching.

I have started up every other time since with the clutch effected. 

Luck the tow truck wasn't loading would have cost $750 cost.

 

Regards Mando.

Bugger. Get it sorted and then get it done. It will be so worth it on the day you drive out with plates on it.
