    An old family friend was a mechanic and used to work at the local forestry camp in the late 60's early 70s.
    He told me one day that every year when the recruits graduated/left for next role, there would be a bunch of old ford coupes and similar left in varying states of repair at the camp along with all the bits they used to keep them going. generally used as quick trip to the pub and shooting hacks.
    Cant remember the engine specifics but suggest straight 6's and 8's?
    Anyhoo they would take them all a couple of k's up the road and using the forestry excavator put them in an old dredge pond just off the road and squash them down with the bucket.
    Would've been a few cars in that one.
    @Finnwolf yup I was happy when I put an alloy one on mine. First time I took it off it was a bitch. Heavy as and stuck down with silicon.
    Lucky it was on there as I had to take the heads one of the heads off straight after the break in run. A head gasket failed straight away. that was a fuck off I can tell you.
