Hello and good morning all
Been a petrol head forever
Am quite old now but started my life with cars back in the 70s changing clutches on Datsun 120ys for the princely sum of £25 :-?
Been a car mechanic all my life until six years ago, with the car trade becoming more difficult and it going more electrical related problems with modern cars, I decided to get out and go into hirer education.

Nice and warm with no oil and dirt.
I've always had a project car on the go .

That brings me to here and my latest project, yes its going to be my first V8.
I could just buy one, but wheres the fun in that ? . I will start a new thread with all about it and yes i will be asking for help :mrgreen:

I'm a few miles off the last junction of the M62 heading towards Hull

I've often thought a Jag would be a good home for my latest build

Yes, big block Buick. With alloy heads and intake.

Not currently got a home for it but have a few ideas on where it could go.
