    As a Yorkshireman, I really love these sorta builds..)) Someone whom knows what there doing, how to do it, and just gets it done,...@ minimal cost/s. These projects are even more intriguing, interesting & clever than anyone whom just throws £1000's @ a car/project, because it takes real guile to figure out how to do/build such a thing on what is more than likely a 'very tight' budget. I just love it!!
