hi martin.

me personally haven't done much for a couple of years since my daughter was born. still tinker with the ones that are on the road from time time the old mans taken a break from doing them to as hes 70 this year and hasnt long finished converting a yamaha xvs 650 into a trike. ive got a partially restored pickup in workshop that needs finishing one way or the other so hope to get on with it soon when time allows! also need to restore my original mini that I built when i was 15 and get it sold on as need to start clearing out some of the projects to get a deposit for a house together lol. here some links for some of the restos weve completed on the minis if your interested?

this is my dads pickup that could do with a refresh as its been sat outside not very well looked after since my mums show car has been finished! unfortunately haven't done a build diary on that one!
