You can understand the £800 if he's rocked up at a garage and said "theres the car, theres the engine, please fit it"

But running fuel lines inside the car is not the done thing, I really dont understand why cars can pass MOT's like it :?

Quite possibly, and so money than sense comes to mind... and a garage owner who can spot it!
I know you can buy mounts from the US for this conversion, I think they are around £400 shipped, which is still steep for engine mounts, but they don't look bad.


I didn't spot the fuel lines in the car. Not something I'd be happy with either :?
