I know that feeling your doing great on a shoestring budget think there is a tv series in you mate Jonnys kitchen table bike build on a shoe string! Way better than that Henry cole bloke !
I wish bud would have her finished by now
I didn't manage to get much done today apart from excavate the long lost kitchen table only issue was some petrol had melted the plastic tablecloth to the table so I had to strip it and revarnish it before the mrs come home from work
But I did manage to start work remodelling the seat was gunna buy one so thought I might as well have a crack at reshaping the old seat

Im trying to keep all costs as low as possible and try not to have things done professionally probally will send the tank in for spraying as it needs to be perfect (and im not playing with cyanide based paints) other than that All will be done by my fair (full of metal fragment pmsl) hands
