Holy cow!
Is that roll cage made of 15mm copper or something? It looks to be held together with chewing gum!

I admire his optimism in offering the low mileage of BOTH vehicles as a good point.
And it has a roll cage, allbeit of dubious quality.
But it's still a bagoshit.

He obviously lost interest in completing "The project of a lifetime" but was it because he just "lost interest",
or did her indoors,
do it for him!

this should become a regular feature with the quality offerings ebay bring to us....
People wonder why the SVA test was introduced

Good idea, but we may have to rename the thread "shed of the day" or possibly even "shed of the hour"

can't someone just get rid of the inbreeds who build these things! i'm all for a bit of hillbilly engineering but these people actually believe their trucks look good. they all seem to have no mechanical or engineering aptitude and a tool kit comprimising a cheap angle grinder and a clarke home mig. rid the world of these muppets or at least keep them all in one area so we can all go along and have a laugh at them.

This'll keep you lot happy for a few hours - The Scary Steering page!!!
http://128.83.80.193/scarysteering/index.html
Just a word, of warning; he uses some VERY creative language so probably not something you want to show your kids unless you censor it. Literary talent aside, this guy has managed to compile a pretty comprehensive webpage of American built sheds

I think one of my favourite quotes is:
"This is the typical monster truck set up if you just happen hang out with dim witted mouth breathing butt munch f***stick monster truck fabricators who quit paying any attention over a decade ago and couldn't fabricate their way out of a UV damaged extra sensitive ribbed condom!"
I told you he was creative with words..

Have you been checking out the tools in my garage?
IMHO, the 205 is not too bad and could be made into something decent. Getting rid of that horrible, "Custom," paint job would be a start.

OOOH , snotty , I always knew this site was a bit snobby this site has and has had more than its share of dodgy builds but most are way to polite to say anything ( or spineless)
I am sure what ever forums he frequents all tellhim it is great and likewise his friends ,
So there in lies the problem as I see it , his mates who should be honest and say ' look Ralph ! drop the mig and filler and stop humping your cat , get a girlfriend and go hang out at macky dees with your buds , INNIT!!!'

Coming up the M1 this evening at about 5'ish we spotted what looked like a slammed Morris 1000 van facing the wrong way on the hard shoulder and it appeared to be missing its rear axle. The most telling thin about it was all the rust on the roof and around the windows...................

Nah, not exhausts.
I think he was intending to have a pool in the back, and those pipes would be plumbed into the cooling system to provide a warmed towel rail....
