Nice to see old iron pulling it's load!
Why is the front of the cutter raised so high in the second picture?

Hope so, will weigh about 700kg (same as a Lotus Elise) and have 160/180 horse power. Fully adjustable Spax coilovers and a Jaguar rear end.

Lots of work though as V8 wont go in without lots of chassis alterations. Engine is so far back in chassis it will have 50/50 weight distribution front to rear.

Tractor to rebuild first though
