Anyone have any small side projects? I'm always buying/fixing small motor'd things from mini bikes to mountfield lawnmowers!

 

Here's yesterdays purchase:

 

£7 from local bootsale:

Plans are to complete it as its missing the following:

 

Plastics

Fuel tank

Pipes

Rear Shock

 

Half purchased already, will take pics along the way, but plan on stripping it, cleaning it up, spraying the frame, clean out the carb, new K&N style filter Have it all done by next Sunday at the bootsale and sell it for £75 lol. whilst spending minimum on it! So far spent in total £21. with about £15 more to go.

 

Anyone else do similar?

I collect spores, molds and fungus.

 

And if you get that reference without cheating, you've got a pretty good shot at becoming Mrs SuperStu :lol:

My little side project is currently building a new Frankenstein 2.4lt engine for my other halfs type r..... It started off as just a swap but has grown a bit. Never done anything like this myself before and allways wanted to, a lot of the time I think I've bitten off more than I can chew and I've kinda convinced myself that it's going to catestrophically fail the instant I try to start it but I'm enjoying the learning and shopping.....

I throw every penny I earn into making an american truck. Then I throw in even more :lol:

 

I've thrown money at my zed, but it seems nothing happens!
