Just read all 15 pages, love when i find build threads i haven't seen with plenty of pages to view, it is good to see another good old shed build, having a go and do it yourself at home with your mates, very satisfying and it turning out better than getting workshops to do it.  

 

cheers mate thanks yes i have a go at most things as this is a budget build so had no choice really lol and as you said with some help from mates they have been great.... im really looking forward to finishing and cruising it as is my very patient son lol.....

Rear bumper looks nice on there mate.

The pics don't do it justice as it looks better in the flesh!

How many spiders did you have to flush out of that front bar? lol
