Turning a running range rover classic into an engineless range rover classic, and tomorrow if I get the chance it will become gearboxless too.
I don't know if it's just me, but I always feel that stopping a mobile vehicle from moving under its own power, no matter how badly it runs, is a bit sacrilegious.

Maybe because Beetle engines are so easy to remove, but I don't see it as sacrilegious. I actually really like it! Gives me a bit of a mojo boost - not everyone can pull a motor out.
With our body off restoration at school, I've told the students that they're entering into quite a small band of car enthusiasts who will ever actually go that far with a project. They feel quite proud of that!

This morning at Field of Dreams VW festival and this afternoon, sitting in a service station waiting for the AA and kicking myself for taking the tools out of the big beast to get more beetle bits, (which I didn't even find) in.
