This is a question The best thing I've built

Wehttamman asks: My dad and I once built a go-kart from chipboard, pram wheels and an engine from a lawn mower. It didn't work... so tell us about your favourite things you've made, and whether they were a triumph or complete failure.

No, you wouldn't
you can't buy one of these in Poland, and the cost of searching, finding, buying and importing one from Germany would be about double the price.

And now I have a garage filled with lovely lovely tools.

There's the rub.

Also,
that's not really the point.

Most restored cars, especially at the bottom end of the market, are worth less than they cost to fix.

There are countless MGs with '15k spent on restoration' around that are up for sale at 8 grand.

The point is to take an old banger and make it nice again.

Easy now.
You're teetering dangerously close to SHED PORN here.

How come?
They worried it's a Trojan horse invasion?


Great work though!
