Mode: metal god

Spent an afternoon wrangling £70 worth of aluminium sheet into what I will choose to call 'a box'


As the dimensions were too big (and the sheet too thick) to work in my metal folder, had to resort to large chunks of wood, angle iron and a big hammer to form the corners. As a result it's not terribly beautiful, but it'll do the job. Here it is in situ:


Whilst under there I also removed the exhaust, miscellaneous bits of heat shield and a 10 kilo lump of ballast!  Certainly the car is pretty light in the rear - you can actually lift the back end off the ground by hand.  But not for long - the batteries will weigh it back down!
