What you have been (car that is) off the road for 3 years  And you have a busa lump.. How could you leave it such a long time mate.. I would love
a Busa in my Mk but the Blade will have to do for now. Hope you manage a few miles in it now that summer is here!!!

I know, it's a new era - car first, work second (probably)
It does feel good though...
Steve, we'll have to have a run out, then you can fit a 'proper' engine over the winter
Only kidding

Sounds good - the run out, I mean - not the 'beancan' engine!!! We'll have to keep an eye on the weather as the immediate forecast
isn't tremendous....

Rain today, Scorching tomorrow, thunderstorms the day after, hail on monday, snow on tuesday.....who knows what the Great British Summer will throw
our way next?
Anyway, mine's in bits today (stripped the dash off to fit a socket for powering the Sat Nav [and the onboard jacuzzi] ).

Yeah, and it will be plumbed into the radiator and engine cooling system for heating it up - who knows, it might start a trend!!
(cornering might get a bit tricky, though)
