bit more done: V6 engine (like the best engines)
engine components laid out
assembled the crank with pistons and rods
pistons installed into block
some gearing added to engine, am hoping for about 330bhp
engine fitted, didn't use a crane, just lifted in by hand
a few pics of more lego being added
two more electric motors fitted, these control the arms for scoop thing and rake thing
