Where was that smoke coming from? Oily handprints burning off?

Lol , I hadn't checked the tappet cover was tight when I put the oil in , it pissed oil everywhere.

About 14 , but it never sounded like that. Very close to being able to move under its own power .

Small update , bonnet now has some colour on it , unfortunately I snapped a hinge bolt where the hinge bolts to the body so need to drill and tap that before I can bolt the bonnet on.
I have fabricated the intake piping from turbo to through the intercooler to the throttle body.
And I have mounted the seats to the rails, and installed the gear lever and clutch cable.
And have fabricated the exhaust to just before the diff.
