My New(ish) Workshop

[Thegsey]

I finally moved in a few months ago and am almost beginning to have settled. It is always a toss up between getting on with various projects and working on the workshop itself. Still a lot to tidy away properly and more storage needed but it is coming along.

Coming along very nicely - you have a great selection of tools there, and a very nice workspace. Also a heck of a selection of raw material!

Do we get to see what is hiding under the cover at all?

Nice shop, I too would like to see what is hiding under the cover.

 

[lomaxmotorsports]

yep I got to know whats under the cover too! Shop is looking good, I'm moving my shop too at the moment.

Very nice shop....Would also like to know what is under the cover?

 

[Thegsey]

I will try and remember to take a picture without the cover when I am down there tonight. In the mean time would anyone care to guess??

Yes nice shop, should be comfy knocking out a few projects from in there.

If that is a roll cage, it looks to high for a car, maybe a boat. But then the snout dips down to much to be a boat and there is no tow coupling for a trailer (that's not to say it's not sitting on blocks. I can see what looks to be a badge or label of some sort, but unable to read it :wall:doing my head in!!!

I was tempted to think "boat" at first - but it doesn't have the right lines.

It almost looks like it might be a small car. I was thinking along the lines of a 3 wheeler - with two wheels at the front, like a Can-Am spyder, but the big windshield says no to that.

So is it a 3 wheeler of some sort? The "buldges" on either side at the front suggest there is some sort of running gear there.

It even looks a bit like the lines of a snowmobile.



I am just guessing as you can tell.

Could it be a hovercraft?

 

[Propforward]

Maybe it's some kind of James Bond thing?

Now THAT would be cool.

Looking at it more, also the two into one exhaust pipe, I am starting to think it is an open wheeler, possibly hill climber. The badge on the front has me; I think RTA, but cannot find anything with Google. The hunt continues.

 

[Dirtfan1981]

thinking maybe rock crawler, dune buggy typa thing... kinda looks like a modified roll cage without body but the high bar thing throw that out.

 

[Propforward]

He's deliberately teasing us now. Enquiring minds need to know!

 

[Thegsey]

Hehe. Most of the guesses are far more interesting than the actual project. It is a partially finished (or eternally unfinished) MEV Rocket without its wheels. The picture here is with its wheels on.

The badge on the cover was a bit of a red herring. It says SLR but is just one I picked up as someone was throwing it out.

Looks a bit like a Lotus Clubman

The photo came through just after I posted. :wall:

Ah - see - it being lifted up high threw me off. If it had been on the ground I'd have guessed it, honest.

Thanks for the big reveal. Looks like it will be a nice ride.
