Looks like an interesting project! Is this the first engine swap you have attempted?

Austin Maxi 1500 springs to mind but there could be more too.

So you may have seen that I picked up this fine machine a week ago, it's my first ever V8 and easily the most technologically advanced vehicle I have ever owned ( that's not saying much though!) and the most refined too. I bought it with the intention of using it as an engine donor for my Volvo 940 estate as while it's a nice driving car it's not the greatest example so I won't feel bad about destroying it. I did an oil and filter change on it today to protect the most important part I don't think it will be getting any other servicing in my ownership. I like wafting around in it as it promotes a very relaxed driving style and it has a pretty nice stereo too, I have confirmed that it can do a pretty good one tire fire (no LSD sadly) if the traction control is disabled but it's really not designed for those kind of childish activities. Anyway if it's good enough for Doc Martin it's good enough for me!

Is there any reason that wouldn't pass an MOT if you used it for the majority of an exhaust system? Seems a quick and lazy way to make an exhaust.

The one and only Thanks again for that, the old discs were wafer thin as I think they had been previously machined.

Hard to believe I know but yeah, god knows where the time goes.

They seem a bit flimsy to use as a banger or are they stronger than they look?

Yeah the man of junk did Cannock at least once as evidenced by the December 2018 Calendar photo (taken by @dollywobbler December 2017) that was a good day!

I have always avoided the death burger van and will continue to do so, mainly on grounds of cost because I am a miser.

Literally just been a car crash outside my house! They were being chased by the cops and legged it but I think they got one of them, luckily the Lexus escaped unharmed. Welcome to Brierley Hill I guess.

Wonder how many RWD Mazda 323's survive?

I won't have a ticket as I am being "sensible", but I hope this goes well and the basic plan can hopefully be repeated in the future. There are lots of cars on eBay that we maybe wouldn't be prepared to splash out £500 on but would be quite chuffed to win in a roffle for a tenner or so.
