Re: kevin s's blog

time for a quick update, progress on the cars has been limited by two major diy projects, firstly making and fitting all new cupboards for the utility room then demolishing walls and moving the kitchen, pretty much down to the decorating now though.

Re: London Ultra-low Emissions Zone

As to the original question, to qualify for the stage 4 it would have to be homologated to stage 4 which is a very expensive process, it may be possible to fit the entire powertrain from a later stage 4 vehicle with all the after treatment engine management etc then put it through an IVA type test t...

Re: Morris Minor ground up rebuild

Re: Austin A30 Seven

I know your problem, rebuilding a range rover, at the same time as re-fitting the utility room (have to make all the cupboards from scratch to get the desired design), but to do this I need to steal some floor boards from the kitchen so Knocking that and the dining room into one is also a task for t...
