    Raffles are a great idea. If you split the money with a charity it a makes everyone feel great about themselves. I could win a car, you cover your costs and a charity gets some support. Make the tickets £2. Keep up the great work and honesty about how things turn out.

    I've just found this channel and have watched all the uploaded videos one after the other, I've really enjoyed them! Particulary like the honesty, the fails and the wins, the real things that can and will go wrong, the unforseen hurdles that need to be addressed... As someone with a fair amount of panelwork experience, I thought the lads were really brave to tackle the MK1 Escort !!! The Mini Camper looks great I'm sure that will sell easily, I think I was as gutted as them about the gearbox, can't wait to see it all sorted. Keep em coming boys!

Simon makes three and together they turn out some fabulous motors. Oops! Sorry Paul!😂🤣

    I think that exhaust noise would be painful after a while

    Interesting yet odd snagging faults with the bug. Good to hear you kept your cool and got it sorted. Flat four sounds like he knows exactly what he's doing as opposed to the numpties engine rebuilders the first time around. Great looking car and worth all the hassle. Well done.
