here's my swing when we first got it 9 years ago, found lying in the middle of nowhere after the owner's had treid to get it going and gave up, at the time I did wonder what we had done! Please note the fantastic job they had done with the engine, wrong radiator with lovely pipes going over it. You can't see the other things like wrong starter wiring and so on....

Liamp, i dont know the location on the hoarders house, its never been revealed in the public section as theyre against stuff being removed for any reason whatsoever, silly imo as theyre only going to go to waste or be weighed, but not my place to argue so i wont link as cars have already vanished from there!

Yes they are mine and the van is getting there just needs paint and cvs and a few bits bolting on and it's done, and the whole reason the van was bought was so I could do a full rebuild on the loon nothing much has happened with the loon other than it loosing it's engine and brakes to the van, once the van is done I will start on the loon keep getting tempted to start but know if I do I won't finish the van so it's just sat there the van will be done for national weekend, won't take long once it's painted.

Hahaha he won't let anyone near it mate, he bought it years ago and it's just sat there gradually getting covered in other car parts.
He plans to make a start on it this year, it's the real deal tho, even got the bits in the chassis for the air jacks.
