hello from bonnie Scotland

[mouldy the merciless]

Hi folks,
I'm kenny waters born in '79. I'm married for nearly a year and we've got a wee girl who'll be 3 soon. I work at a university in carlisle 6 miles from scotland as a sculpture technician and when its quiet it's ok for me to make things in there. I'm busy at nights drinking ale, repairing old vws, working on my volksrod and building/riding my drift trikes. (normally in that order)

why I'm here

 

[mouldy the merciless]

I've got plans to build a sidecar to fit this so I can cruise with ruby onboard.

Thanks folks, jolly kind. It's great to see the variety on offer on this forum. so much variation in the complexity of the work/modifications folk do. Brilliant to have this place to share it all. I've got this "if you can't make it you can't have it" attitude about my work. Keeping costs minimal is important. I like it when people say how much did that cost and you can say £20 and 40hrs!

hey troy, the red one's a '66 beetle I've slightly reshaped, I thought it'd be neat to have a bug pick up where the roofline flowed into the pick up bed. bug rear wings/fenders make up the rear corners with a decklid cut up to make the top of the pick up bed. And yeah Jats, I've got a 1600 pancake motor in it from a type3 fastback, did you get that from seeing that wee bit of exhaust manifold? Here's a pic from about 3 yrs ago, a bit like stage scenery.

The silver toy car is scratchbuilt and roughly based on a ford model A tudor in a radioflyer style.
