exactly !! for a start i used the word "us" which includes me
i meant it in the way that you have got to give the guy credit ay
and the welding isnt the hard part
even i can weld (badly) metal together, but if i home built half a car chassis and then (over) powered it with a crazy engine then i wouldnt want to be the test pilot
the difference between putting a mk2 engine in a a mk1 (which is difficult enough) and putting a v8 in a mk1 is huge, thats all
