They probably threw away multiple multiple grand in just the rehabbing process - so not that much of a money saver in the long run compared to the budget, probably.

I admit I haven't priced a Dynacorn chassis, but this might still have been cheaper - not really enough to make for it, I wouldn't think, but it looks like there are tinworm traces in the corners of the firewall? Still, certainly not an irredeemable one.

I want this rotisserie, consarnit.

Late to the party, but Land Rover Series IIA.

HEY LEADBULL. You should keep pestering Doug to make him buy the car that this guy built in his garage. Don't let up.

The reason the unit of measurement is the V6 Mustang is that it's a generic sort of fun. Not extremely fun, not really that stellar, but kind of the de facto cheap hoonmobile. RWD, a little more relative power than a Miata, and common as dirt.

If sold for use in the wilds, certainly. They might have tried it on the V8 if it had made any kind of sense to attempt, but the crank died with the 2.25/2.5 gas engine. I could allege they never switched from offering it because they knew they'd screw up their supply chain too much for crank bolts and bumpers in the…

The starter works better than you'd expect based on that, but removal *does* require a LHD model to crank the steering wheel all the way to the right to remove from below, so in that case, the crank looks pretty good. The starter has a long lead into the bellhousing because the gear engages from behind, so getting it…

It was a lifesaver. That six-cyl VW-kin lump needed a low rear to move the car, and the OD came through when you wanted to go... reasonably fast at all.

My brother's diesel wagon and my sister's diesel sedan definitely both had it.

Can't remember if I used this one last time. The Land Rover Series III was probably the last English car to be produced with a starting crank, allowing crank start up until the mid 80s.

Unlike the US Ford Falcon, the Aussie Ford Falcon XK wagon and ute are as short as the sedan. They economized on production by using far more of the same sheet metal. The models were Aussie-ized by the same man that designed the first modern ute in the 30s, Lew Bandt.

You should unlike him for lurking so damn much.

How about...

As is the Land-Rover Series II. Which, of course, means the weight distro is beyond fucked when driven in the US. Unless you re-arc the springs appropriately, they lean to the left.

Alright, alright, stop that. Now, I've noticed a tendency for this advertising to get rather silly. Now I do my best to keep things moving along, but I'm not having things getting silly. Those two last demonstrations we did got very silly indeed, and that last one about the golf was even sillier. Now, nobody likes…

Yeah, I was sorely disappointed that those answers didn't shake out. Craziest can mean two things.

However, it's also a jump without incremental stages in between. As in, here's this value, and then suddenly, instead of creeping toward this value, it makes a (scale relative) significant jump without passing through the values between.
