Was there a 10 minute blank in the video? I forgot to check before I uploaded and I'm only getting the beginning and end segments. Yes, I after you finish presenting it just goes blank for a long period. I didn't hang around to see if anything else appeared during that time. |

Righto, I'll double check it outputted properly. Hopefully I won't need to redo it.

There is still a missing 30 seconds or so about 5 minutes in, but I can't seem to get it to output that bit of footage.

No progress for 3 weeks, not even managed to move any parts into the new smaller container/office - several crashed vans and a boomerang Sprinter with turbo issues has kept me and the ramp busy. I still have 2 more vans to work on in the coming week, but they are only small jobs.
I have been chatting with a mate who deals and breaks cars about an engine. I'll say no more, other than it being a V8.
Fingers crossed I can finally separate the body and chassis and get some mechanical work done in the next few weeks before it starts getting really cold. I've been mentally spending money on cosmetic and interior parts whilst waiting - new carpets, dashboard, etc.

Aka,The Flying Blackcurrant, as it will be known when it is complete. PAHOOT is an acronym for: Princess Anne Had One Of Those. Had a nightmare getting it on the trailer because the winding handle for winch has gone missing, so I had to improvise and turn it with a 10mm spanner. It's now safely back at the workshop, ready to go into my container. Weirdly, on the way back from collecting it, I ran into a guy at the petrol station who did all the welding on the chassis. Small world.   Hahahah. I thought it is a new Car Brand PAHOOT |

  We have a gearbox. Fully working 6 speeder from a BMW 120i, all for the princely sum of £60. Sold the exhaust system for £80, so I'm basically £20 up currently. |

Yes, but you are still going to need an exhaust system of some kind in the future.......
All you need now is an M5 V10 to go with the gearbox.....

Obviously, but the old system was never going back on. If it gets a V8, it needs a suitably beefy pipe setup with an X pipe for proper burble.

 It may not look like it, but the body is (fingers crossed) ready to be lifted off. Every bolt has been removed, cut or cut around. Every loom plug has been unplugged. Every cable disconnected or cut. Every step of the manual been completed. All I need is the workshop floor to be free of timberwork and I can lower it down, then place the lifting legs under the wheel arches and send it skyward. |

The Timber.... Blarno's loft doors?? It's a brace of shuttering boxes for concrete bases for a garage in a very posh house. |

My bet is on an errant earth strap.

Here's hoping it goes better than this body lift job...  |

I've moved the timber and the car so a colleague can repair his Disco this weekend, I may well get the chance to separate the 2 parts next week.
Hopefully it won't end up like that 4x4...
