And the first time I have been in one too....

Fixed the leaky fuel tank with a bit of gungey stuff and some tape, took it out for a spin, I was just idling it out of the field where I put it, then I just floored it onto our driveway - which is a long track (My driveway now has massive tyre marks down it at either end where I have done this )

Shit this thing pulled a fucking huge burn out and flew off, and my Corsa is even lighter than the Cav (Be even faster )....

Cannot wait til I do this engine swap now, gonna be super sweet

you want a trolley jack under the engine, then lift the car over the engine with the digger

Whats the price of scrap Kerry? Might be worth buying some old stuff, selling the bits on eBay and weighing the shells in

Fund the weekend racer
