Ohhh, more like putting the engine, running gear, subframes, 4WD et al in

I felt for the guy doing the wiring loom. It was a bit like watching the dentist scene from "Little Shop of Horrors"

B> Errrm, maybe. I quite liked it. It's a 2 parter with the 2nd one next week.
They used a proper body alignment tool (glorified measure - uses ultrasound) to get the engine, wheels in the right place

B> Yup Happy




(haha, got my email reply head on Wink )

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I'm with you on the sleeper!

I'm actually very surprised they bought that Scooby as a donor - I would have walked. I wonder how much they really had to spend to repair that motor - it was heavily smashed.
