Ummmm... the car itself looks good, however claiming that it has a zero "carbon footprint" (a term which means nothing) is a bit false.
Everyone who rebuilds a car generally "recycles" everything (if the owner/builder wants an "orginal" car)... 2nd hand panels, "recycled" engine etc etc... but in order to "recycle" those parts... it uses energy! Unless of course the panel shop, engine shop etc.. had used solar power, then they could claim it didnt have an "impact". More then likely its just simply a marketing tool (in our favour) to show everyone that us folks who rebuild old cars are "environmentally" friendly.

Seen this on bookface last night. Not the first time a big diesel has been used in an old car.

Was suprised the engine fits, it would be a monster lump of metal you'd have to imagine being basically a truck engine.
