Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

I seriously doubt it!

Where did you get the sest mount from Si?

It was drawn up and cut on the water jet, it was the 2nd set as the first set just did not look, fit right.

Just catching up with this thread for some motivation

Don't suppose you remember where you got this loom grommet from do you? i'm guessing it is a grommet rather than a multiway panel connector

Is there any progress you can share?

Did you machine your titanium bolts/nuts yourself? I need to source some specific bolts for my wheels.

Well a sort of big update,,

It's been a wile sense my last up date. I have got my self a house and had to grow up a bit.

But the mk1 is in paint 😜


So now I have a place I thought I best keep myself busy, this got me thinking I would love a workshop! However with with a very tight budget, 90% of the stuff have been deals off eBay or gumtree and I think I will be on for keeping it on target 👍

So this happened.

Some deal making was made for how much of the back garden I could have.


Next I had to make some access to the back.



Next the digging started 😀



Some more digging



Then it was to full them back in.

Wow. I had to punch myself as I'm doing something similar with my back garden. IE losing most of it. Although as I haven't got quite as far as you, I'm having second thoughts about the size!

That should of said pinch. Lol

Nice sized space - I'm very interested in this as I too hope to be doing something similar soon.
Is it self build or do you have a builder in? Is it going to be block work all the way up?

looking good
