	I often while away the many hours of idle time I have by flicking through ebay for potential projects and day dreaming about what I'd do. My most recent method of choices for this is to look up Rolling Shell, or Rolling Chassis or something similar, pick one, and then head off to the engine section of ebay (which has SO MANY ENGINES) and pick a nice juicey one for the project. For example : www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MGB-GT-V8-Factory-V8-Rolling-Shell-Buyer-to-Collect-/131150448819 + www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2003-HONDA-S2000-2-0-62000-MILES-ENGINE-CODE-F20C2-/321340660357 You can also use other sites for find rolling shells. www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C483560 + www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SR20DET-Blacktop-Engine-Nissan-S13-S14-S15-Silvia-Spec-R-/121266706857 What can you find? (I'm still trying to find something suitable to stick a Ferrari engine in...)

	Glad I'm not the only one who does this... I've always fancied a classic commercial and have been totally blown away by MrSpeedy's 400 flatbed with modern(ish) turbodiesel power (full thread) So... An ebay Mk1 Transit rolling shell/chassis: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271439592169 It's a real blank canvas, heaps of potential. For power, an M-B OM606: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321137818416 I'd probably need to budget for a lot of this:

	Hmm... I might need to do another one. Dino 246 rolling shell: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121287491962 Needs a Harley v-twin running a modified Lexus hybrid drive system. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181349217263 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131145154744 I'd fit Screaming Eagle stacked exhausts vertically out of the engine bay, of course... So, that's me offended anyone who likes classic cars, Harley Davidson fans, Ferrari fans, anyone interested in the environment and green issues. Is there anything else I can add to offend another group of people?

	My next project WILL be to take one of these Knackered Jago Jeep And one of these in rusted guise Pull all the subframes off the Cappo and mount them on the Jago chassis, use the Cappo engine as its a cracking little unit and end up with something along these lines Fibreglass body, great handling suspension setup, revvy little turbo charged engine, rwd What more could I want Don't no one go stealing my idea now...
