No way! Trouble from the neighbours is the last thing you need after
going to all that trouble building the garage/workshop, hope you get it
sorted.

Looking forward to this build, should be cool if its up to your usual
standard.

I have had an issue with a neighbor complaining to the council that I am fixing fitting roll cages to other peoples trucks.

The same one that didn't want you to have the garage in the first place?

There's nothing to stop you working on anyones car, so long as it's not causing an obstrustion or any form of polution. I can't remember the rules about 'for reward' but I think they are similar to the others, so long as there's no disturbance, it's OK.

The enforcement officers tends to agree. Looks like as long as I stay within the noise regs which I have always done. I can pursue my hobby as much as I like.

I finished the very rough design bumper today and then my welder packed in. It's the wire feed motor or the PCB, getting the motor tested tomorrow. Just paid £200 yesterday to have the bender fixed and now this.

Anyway this will be going on the truck for final fit and finish and then I will make the proper one once I have all the drawings and sizes finalised. Please ignore the gaps, cuts and re-welds the final version will be far neater, promise.







As soon as the welder is up and running I will finish the rear design and post some pics of both fitted. I will probably fit tube on top similar to the TJM and the one fitted to my Jimny build one.

Ha the Zuki is sold and I stepped down from committee last year, keep up

I do like a tidy workspace, my office is also a little OCD inspired as is my garage.

Nothing wrong with that mate.
Pride is an emotion that seems to have been forgotten about these days.
