This was a last week thing. Literally been wanting my steel portal for nearly 10 years. Saw everybody else's progresses and decided enough was enough. I am paying £150/month for car storage, £170/month for electric. £250/month for fuel. Get up steel portal and plaster in solar panels and these figur...

Come here bull! I am going to grab your horns. There has been too much peer pressure and jealousy recently. Sod it. Trees lopped. One was hanging over the farmers field anyway. Machinery ordered, scraping has begun in prep for a slab. https://i.postimg.cc/14DNGM8Q/IMG-20250606-192651-041.jpg https:/...

Regarding use/mileage (in general), I was struck by two things when reading about a Ferrari conversion many years ago. I think it was a 308, so not particularly 'special'. Firstly the fun facts, that it was the same weight (slightly lighter), more power, and slightly more range. Secondly the big on...

Fancied doing this on a 911. Two engines bays Plenty space. I've seen a few EV-converted 911s for sale. The price has always been well north of £100k. I wonder how much a DIY conversion would cost? The curious part here is that the 911 has been done from the factory and they drop in value the momen...

I am literally in the process shitting down my classic car restomod business. Need a few things to be sorted. One being a decent steel portal (for solar reasons of course) and then a set of ramps before I start again. Fed up of working in damp conditions in Aberdeenshire. It may eventually get re-bo...

If I convert mine it will be once it hits 40 years old.
You get historical classification.
This way NO ULEZ and NO TAX.
This will be even more important if they decide to introduce pay per mile tax in the future. It then becomes a massive loop hole for tax avoidance.

Can work either way. You can buy a working vehicle and sell the working ICE parts to cover the cost of new electric parts. Some re-use the old gearboxes, keeping the original mounting points in place so that if the value of said car rockets and originality is key, you can always revert it back to IC...

similar start to the day here, while walking the puppy (now larger than the Labradors and weighing 34kg ) I stopped to use the Merlin App that Ivan mentioned and within seconds I had logged chaffinch, jack daws, wrens, robin, chiffchaff, carrion crow, magpie, starlings, collard doves etc etc Its a ...

Not a single cloud in the sky. Looking set for another record setting day in Aberdeenshire.

Scotland has an unprecedented amount of insects this year. The early summer has kicked off everything including early strawberries.
