This why we nicknamed ours 'bag of bits' - lol!

Its like a broom with two heads and two handles. I've kept most good parts like the interior and the door and bonnet came off the original car. Luckily for me as the Parts Validation car' it has certain markings to identify it. So for example I've kept the cracked dash and drivers door card safe as they have been replaced. Original tailgate I had to scrap and replace. Diffs, gearboxes, engine rear arms, brakes etc. are all new, though I do still have the original head and gearbox stored away... why I sometimes wonder???
I have the original T4 but run a new one, that might go back on with new internals one day. Things like inlet are original and many many smaller bits I'm sure... Oh I took the original tape off the engine loom and retaped it!!!

I also have a mint and original saff, though it has got new oil and other fluids, plus a new head gasket that is Grp A... so that's not really original either I guess - lol!

At the end of the day any car is a bag of bits, but I am pround of ours I admit
