Another weeks has passed and it seemed like the front wheels for the car were still to be found until a last minute find at the car boot fixed this. Its been a few weeks trying but eventually we now have the smaller front wheels we need. At just £5 for the whole bike there are plenty of other bits that will be very useful in the build and best of all were reusing bits rather them being scraped and saving money at the same time. It would seem the set of rear wheels will cost more than the rest of the car!
This is not the only reused bit we have either. The floor comes from a sheet of plywood used to package solar panels (double the eco hit on that part) which was kindly given to us by Cornwall Cullet. The seat/ battery hatch was meant for the camper van but instead has a new home, and the steel comes from a selection of beds given to us by John Fowler Holidays.
Making the car "green" is a big part of this project and one I think were achieving quite well so far.
Nice progress, good to see you're keeping the green credentials up. I look forward to seeing it on the track!
ReplyDeleteCheers. Yeah were really trying to go down a reuse route, having a few issues but getting there. Well if you can qualify for the CC then were be head to head and can show them all how us Cornish teams do it!
