Another one finally finished, well it was done late last year, but just last week I bought the polished alloy rims with stainless spokes & new hubs & had my first go at wheel building, turned out not bad as I got them within 5 thou!!
Carved foam & covered the seat, home made side panels& graphics, did all the paint on pallets in the back garden. :grin:

Lawrie, I'd love you to do a thread on some of your future rebuilds (you know you are going to do some) so we can admire your techniques and see "work in progress" - I'd love to follow those sort of threads buddy

If you are prepared to and have the time of course....

Any updates/photo's of progress.

I thought that was N1RDY on the "old" org- who hasn't joined here unfortunately (not sure if he even knows this forum exists)

WOW!
Thanks fellas for your very kind comments, but I too, love to see all your work as well, you lot are very talented you know.
As for future  'work in progress', this might be my last as since i'm 'getting on a bit', lifting & lugging stuff about is getting a bit difficult nowadays, so i'll be looking for something smaller to have a play with!!
But if interested, there is a very small number of past resos here:
There are some drone vids in there, & although common now, I designed & made 4 of these myself long before you could buy them! :grin:
Just click on 'files' on the left side to see more.

There have been loads more in the past, but I never thought to keep records of them. :bugga:

I agree - I have some old contact details - admittedly not electronic - but will try to contact him. Unless anyone knows if he is on FB? (I don't do FB)
