I saw a neat trick on youtube to make a dome from slices of round tubing. Of course I had to try it but with square tubing.

Been playing again. I had a couple of subframe washers and some boot strut ball joints and an old candle holder...

Something I knocked up last weekend.

It was John's turn this weekend. I gave him free reign of my scrap pile and he built a teeny bbq and tested it out.

I was bored so I hit some flat sheet with hammers and used the bottom of a CO2 bottle and a towball as dollies.

 

[Panky]

congratulations you've made the bottom of a CO2 cylinder

Dragged these 2 2 stroke scooters out of a skip. One has electric start, lights, indicators but is missing a fuel tank. The other is complete apart from a guard over the belt.
I've had the latter running already. It runs spot on but needs a new throttle cable and kill switch.
Plans are to use one as transport at the drag strip.

Good dip

I imagine that you will need to make a couple of brackets for a V8 though?

Amazing what people throw out nowadays

 

[PaulJL]

So one is now running and riding. It needed a new clutch which cost £6 Inc postage from China!
The other one is now completely stripped down. It needs a new carb (£10). The frame is welded down and is being modified using a child's bike to build a tiny chopper bike. Evel will be back..

That is super cool
