Well..... I woke Project up from her 2 odd month slumber yesterday and thought I'd take her for a little drive before I start on the flaming exhausts again... I may of got carried away a bit

Ouch! That pot hole was a big one! I agree this no spare wheel and a bottle of tyre gunk instead is a stupid idea!

I like these little quizzes but.... I've no idea so I'm guessing it's something for ironing sheep

I've got one of those blast cabinets it's not a bad bit of kit.. I need to sort a dust extraction system, but by removing the mesh you can just get a Wheel Horse rear wheel in

To me it looks a right laugh to drive If your thinking about my next build Norm, your wrong.. Why Not is low enough

I rather like this beast, so thought I'd post it up for you all to grin at

Hi all, I'm selling my spare Honda CX500 engine so I can start buying parts for my next project (yes I know I've not finished Why Not yet, but I like to think ahead ) This engine as you know was removed from a CX trike that Nigel and I broke up last year.. This engine comes complete with er.. everything..... Carbs, starter motor, cooling fan, radiator, coils etc.. Yes it has a bit of blue over spray but it's a good sound engine.. Collection from Hawkhurst, Kent. £400 ono I will get some better photos next week when I'm back at the workshop.

Thought you might have it Paul, good to know it's gone to a good home

Thanks Chris, you just know HG will be tested down the field and return coated in mud etc Ready for em now mate.. Well, almost Thanks Norm. Ta muchly James.

Wow! I like that.. It kinda "space age" and "rat look" all rolled into one.... Very nice

Good work James The alternator looks just fine where it is, you might want to think about making a cover for it though to keep any rain out,,

Thanks for all the cool comments guys It is indeed Yesterday was my first time using a pin-striping tool and I have to say it's a nice bit of kit. Once you get a rhythm going it's quite easy to produce some nice looking stripes.. The rears were done using a metal guide to keep the line in the same place all the way round, the front wheels it's fair to say are quite rough so they were striped "free hand" with the tool.. A couple more photos as the painted panels do look that good.. OK, maybe three And a two tone dyno-start..

Hi Kevin, welcome to MOM.. I can't help you with any info on the generator but I'm sure members with better knowledge of such things than me will be along to help you out.. Your Villiers powered Penguin Amphibious ATV sounds an interesting bit of kit, got any photo's?

I guess I should add this sign to this thread as Nigel failed to see the change after a week

Morning chaps, just a very quick update.. Yesterday Nigel and I got all the parts including the chassis repainted in the new slightly darker IH red.. If all goes to plan all the body panels and engine tins will get sprayed red today

Good work James, the steering works a treat

Thanks Chris, though I have to say of all the work we have done on HG, the bondo is the only part I've not really enjoyed.. It's horrible stuff! You had best watch out mate, if you go home looking the part your wife might make you do some baking Well, the paint saga continues but this time it has worked out better Nigel ordered a tin of IH red made by Farm Line and on 1st opening it looked a little dark but would lighten up when fully stirred.. Fully stirred it was still a little darker than the IH red we had been using, but we liked it more, it's less orange than what we had been using.... Soooo, all the parts including the chassis which we had painted will be getting another coat of the darker red.. A lot of extra work but worth it as colour is much better A start has been made..

Nice photo's Mark, I look forward to the video That looks like enough snow to get the snowplow out Norm

I spotted this on the side of a Chuck-Donalds yesterday (no I didn't lower my standards and go in) and thought it was quite funny

About the same amount of white stuff here Chris..

These problems are all part of the fun mate, it's called development

For a few days now Nigel and I have been working on the fender pan and hood/bonnet.. It's been a lot of work to get them looking good, but it's been worth it.. Before.. After Before (almost) After And to even the balance a bit (only a bit as I don't have any "during" photos of the fender pan).. During..

Hi Alan, I remember you show Nigel and I the photo's at John's place all those months ago. It's good to see bigger photo's I knew you had put a lot of work into her, I didn't realize quite how much! Fantastic plastic repairs, and I know who to speak to should I ever need anything made/repaired with fiber glass Looking forward to the next installment

Nice work lad's, I'm surprised that thick metal had rusted away, as it does look like.. er.. thick metal A water trap maybe? Nice repairs by the way
