Hey guys,

This weeks episode is the starter motor. I bought the ugliest one I could find. Had a lot of fun doing this, not a lot of stress at all. Highly recommended.



Enjoy.

Thanks, Mart!!

You're always so quick to the video and I can guarantee a comment from you every time. Each comment I appreciate it as much as the last. If I were making these videos for you only, I'd still enjoy it. Cheers mate. :clap:

Thanks Mart. Means a lot.

I've got a manual box and I'm not sure If I should attempt to go inside. I've had a few professionals tell me it's not working going inside if it worked just fine before. Maybe I could do the basics and make it looks very nice at the least.
