Awesome! This is going to be one awesome car when it’s done (heck, it already is and it’s still in pieces)

Yeah I can’t wait :) definitely someone who likes the making of things so it hasn’t felt like a slog, but it’s definitely exciting :)

Hah, just a boggo standard euro Ranger, which means I4 turbodiesel. Little gutless, but does well towing :)
Tow hitch is a tad high though so I keep mashing my low-slung warning triangles on sharp dips. Going to blame the tow hitch rather than my home-made trailer ;)

Yeah it’s not too bad :) makes a pretty good tow vehicle. Mild gutlessness of the I4 turbodiesel is offset somewhat by the better fuel economy and the 80s-holdover ‘4x4!’ decal ;)
