Build Day 236.....Slight set back, or two

So, what I had planned to do this weekend was this: Put everything back together, put the car back down on its wheels and get the engine running again, to try the oil leak additive and to burn in the cat. Unfortunately, when I tried to tighten up the handbrake (loosened during the bleed process), I found that the handbrake cable was sticking, causing the rear brakes to bind. On closer inspection, it appears that the plastic coating for the inner cable has got damaged and is catching on the outer cable. This means I have had to order a new cable. It also means I've not been able to get the car down on it's wheels and start it.
Instead, I got on with more tidy up tasks e.g. tidying plumbing, fitting trim, nut covers etc. All not very interesting, but all needed to be done.
I also cracked on with the side repeaters. Again, a slight set back on this. The ultra bright LEDs I'd bought for this, which were meant to be amber, tuned out to be red :@
So, new LEDs on order. Will finish this when I can.
