Hoping to get a few ideas to help troubleshoot this issue, I'll try to keep it short. A mate popped the motor in his 2018 LDV T60 with the 2.8 turbo diesel motor. He swapped it and I was his phone a friend when he got stuck. The new motor is in, however it won't fire. The battery is literally brand new, when you crank it the volts very quickly (say 2 seconds of cranking) drop to 8 volts and the engine stops turning over. Watching the belts, I'd say they move about 5cm before coming to a stop. We put a booster pack on, no change. The only potential issue I'm aware of is, when we pulled the motor the grounding strap was still attached. The strap copped a thrashing before we realised what was going on. It looks okay-ish but it's going to be replaced to rule it out. The main challenge is, I wasn't there for 90% of the work. This is his first time doing any major work on a car and he was learning as he was going. He thinks everything has been put back together properly, however I'm not entirely confident that this is the case. It would be good to get some ideas about what else to check. The car isn't spitting any codes so that doesn't help. I've attached a photo, because why not lol. -

I mean an N1 came with a minimal paint thickness compared to dealer models. It’s probably had a ton of vinyls and stuff possible a race paintjob or two over the years. you don’t buy an N1 for its stunning good looks or comfort 🤣 you buy it to send it and measure how much air you can get on the hill at Bathurst -
Yeah, but "restomod" implies Singer and things like it, which implies drug money / trust fund maturity. -

If you talk to restoration/restomod specialists in the coastal US they will turn their noses up at 150k USD jobs. Things are mildly insane here these days. -
Sneaky. I heard the price was more than 4x that only an hour ago!
