So heres the proven formula for "a proper boys project"
A proper boys project = boys (>1, <5), add 1 knackered car, minus all bodywork, times by many goes around the garden, divide the whole fun amongst the boys.
The Voice of reason sent me this picture of him and Don (both now 70 years old) doing exactly what we are doing now 55 years on. Im not sure what the car is, but when you look at the smiles on their faces, who really cares - mind you I wouldn't mind a set of those wheels :-). I wonder who took the photo? could it have been TVOR's own dad?
I think it certainly makes a difference to have a freind to share the fun with. Long may it last :-)

It was TVOR's dad who took the photo in our back gaden at Wigmore Nr Gillingham in Kent. (unfortunatly the neg has been lost)
The project started out with a Series 2 Morris Van. Very early on in the project it was discovered to have a cracked chassis. In hose days it was not so easy to DIY weld so everything was transfered to a Morris Minor chassis. The picture is after the transfer. It does not show the various bits bolted to the chassis so that the engine and springs could be fitted, not a pretty sight! I also don't think you can see the bean can hanging below the carb to catch the leaking petrol - fire risk, what fire risk? (that's another story)
