Right well heres some pics! I'll make a video up later.

Some pics before we really did anything.





It took lee about 20 mins to get working! First up we needed a petrol tank.

TahDah!


With that filled up it fired up with a bit of work.

Next up getting it too move.

Had to free the clutch off which was no problem with a big bar and a hammer.

Then the throttle.There was no pedal on the car and we didn't have a spare one laying around so we just bodged up a hand throttle with some old wire.

Then of course a seat! For this our best bodge. And old engine and some mats!



Anyway with all this it only bloody worked! Have some great videos which I will get up but for now a few more pics.







After this we decided to fit a floor. So we found a bit of wood and threw it in and lobbed and a kirky seat in for good measure as the engine was not very comfy.

Me doing my OMG I'm gonna be killed driving position.



Anyway had a great weekend of it. Was a right crack and bloody funny!
