As Defender owners have to be resourceful to keep our vehicles running, I thought it might be nice to "show off" all those (non-Defender) hair-brained projects we waste the rest of our time on with kids school projects/when we can't sleep etc. Please tell me I'm not the only one...
A couple of my wilder ones: Saw some 500W 12V motors on eBay a few years ago and had an old pull-along trolley, so sons and I built this "around" them:  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Speed trials with a willing 80Kg "victim" confirmed top speed of 25Km/h - he was smiling even more after the test... and yes, those are DRLs 
When our VW Bus was "retired" to Tanzania, it seemed a shame to waste the almost new YellowTop battery, 400W amp and speakers. The "side-sub" came from my wife's car when I reclaimed the boot space and replaced it with a Kenwood unit (cheers Steve for the advice). With 66AH capacity, built in charger, jump-start outlets... and iPod connector, meet "The iBeast": Click image to enlarge It was supposed to be portable but "rollable" was the best I could manage. It's very loud :mrgreen: Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated  Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |
