Now, if he'd only converted it into a pick-up whilst he was at it I'd be reaching for my chequebook!

I suspect it’ll be for sale for a while.

Here's a "how to" - there are a few around the globe but I'm not sure if anyone has done a V8 before?

I'm sure ALDI have a a special offer on MIG Welders this week...

Yes, that's the one I'd like. Would be perfect with the V8 power unit.

Even though it looks like the illegitimate offspring of a Volvo and a Morris Minor Traveler.

That's obviously been his hobby. All good so far - not what I would have done, but it's a free country and all that.

Now he's seeking to monetise it though, that's when my teeth get a good sucking

It does look very nice.
That steering wheel though! I detest any illumination that is more than barely visible when driving at night, looks like if those lights were coming on in your face you would get a migrain
