That looks great Jim, she's a lucky girl and I bet she loves it!
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!
Re: Totrod
Wonderful. As kids we used to make our own carts from discarded pram wheels and other bit's 'n' pieces. Great fun it was too.

Re: Totrod
Brilliant build Jim.
We only had the chassis off one of those prams that had the leather straps to hold the body on.....No floor for us, we did have brakes though that were fitted to the chassis......hair raising it was. But we didn't care or know any better........

Yes, I'd forgotten about brakes. I don't think we had any apart from the person on the back wearing out his shoes on the tarmac! Happy days.FWLR wrote: βThu Nov 29, 2018 5:27 pm Brilliant build Jim.
