just tried uploading some up to date pics but having probs with the site, will stick up a load of pics as soon as I can, drve the car up to Whitby Custom car show last weekend, its about a 35 mile drive and it was my first drive of the car and it was all pretty risky so I waited till it was dark...

now then chris mate,you know carl is right about the big wheel thing, i looked at ford cargo wheels at first for mine and they would look pretty wild at the back, i reckon they would be up near the windows is you channel it right

come on then mate show the world what your doing , i was pretty impressed with what i saw last time i was round your place, this rat rod thing eh? didnt realise what i started all those years ago with the deathsport lol

british cars were very expensive and imports would probably be even more so, I think brit cars from years ago were made small just to make them cheaper

thanks for the comments guys

you cant even begin to imagine the schoolboy sniggering that is heard when a "fanny pack" is mentioned haha, so yep we do have different terms, a bonnet is a hood, a boot is the trunk,silencer is a muffler (not needed with v8s as everyone likes the music) a cigarette is a fag, your lucky to...

anyway the whitby custom show was looming and that was the target to get this thing out, my son was really having second thoughts thinking people would laugh at its rawness but we knew they are the ones that just dont get "it" , front wings were chopped about the night before the show and...

some more pics of the standard, you can see carl my son in there with the gas axe chopping out metal to clear the rear suspension, we where welding with just plain CO2, it was cheap and readily available but weld quality isnt so great, later on we got some decent argosheild and that transformed...

so as you can see these cars are pretty small and you can also see theres not that much of it haha, But taking it off the trailer we found out the brakes still worked! (cable), the original rails where about as thin as a ciggy paper, (we call em fags but you would only get confused haha), we...

STANDARD 10hp Hi there everyone , well probably no one once you see the state of this but this is a car i built this year with my son, he is 25 years old and a plumber but had never done any welding or bodywork on cars before this and it was part way through when one day i noticed he was a bit...

thanks for the encouragement guys, i cant wait to hear it breathe

its a kind of tax thing of how cars were rated over here, actual hp was a mind blowing 23, 20 of which would be firmly employed just hauling the engine block around, they would have used concrete but found a metal that was even heavier haha

its coming our weather forcast for next week has cold air coming down our north east coast from the arctic circle, should be fun, going to get loads of wood in for my stove and stock up on beer and cabin up

the latest bit got torn into the roof chop next, it was my first attempt and i would have done things different in retrospect but its nearly all done now anyway and its gettin there, next on the list is get the back axle sorted then i can sort the ladder bars and airbags, ive got some TENZALOY...

the scrapyard times so i thought i want to keep loads of original stuff on this, but bring a bit of steampunk on board maybe, i stuck the axle on top of the springs at the front so i can use the original but its a way of dropping it , i did it in such a way as i have kept all the angles right...

so a bit more about it bought as a rolling shell started making progress staright away ripping all the rubbish out of it as you may notice in the last pic ive managed to drop a 302 ford in it, causing a bit of stress to the chassis but its going to get plenty of strength in there yet, this car...

hi, some pics of my Morris 10/12,after getting home it was off with the perished tyres, my neighbours always enjoy me doing stuff like this on the front, well it looked like cheery waves they were doing and im positive it was good wishes they were shouting,

thanks for the welcome

thank you

you would love the whitby custom show, its goth weekend as well so there are thousands of goths from all over the world in this place, its a massive party atmosphere and we like them and they like up, they all seem to visit the custom car show, and that standard looks so sinister they were...
