over the winter months we don't do a lot with the birds, we loft fly them once per day,but thats about it.

So, our training vehicle, a 1996 vauxhall corsa, after doing 1600000 miles, needs a fresh engine, so I'm going to buy one from a scrapyard and refurbish it.

we'll be documenting everything we do with it, ie, stripping,cleaning,new parts and the full rebuild of a vauxhall engine.

Before you all ask I'm a qualified engineer and looking forward to doing it after the racing season has ended. so if your mechanically minded, you may wish to take a look!!!.

Takes me back this.  When I was a poor student me and a friend bought a mini traveller for the grand sum of £6 !!  We then bought a secondhand engine for £4 and used a block and tackle over the garage doors to replace the old engine.  That car lasted us another three years  Good value for money huh? ;D

I'm actually a food machinery engineer, all industrial, used to do a lot of work for birds eye, ross, findus etc etc. but I've been around cars and car parts all my life as my father was a truck driver and always mended his cars and trucks.
