ok, so what do you do with the wreck of a splitty? the fronts gone, the middle has been on fire pretty bad, and the rear arches have been robbed, so have all the doors etc, theres not a lot left. well i could chop it up for spares, but i wanted something different! so i made it into a bar!
a repaired the body work but not to concours cos i wanted it to look used, like it was not some plastic copy thing. so the dings and dents stayed.
the engine bay was boxed out, theres a flouro light in there so i can look for stuff when its dark. i made an engine lid from some MDF, and in the back i lined it and painted it an off white, there are a couple of spotties in there to brighten things when its dark! theres some more work to do, but thats for a rainy day!!

bay bus, i was thinking about a small fridge, i havn't seen any with doors that open up,
and i dont think it will be a good idea to turn a fridge on its side!!
but the wine rack is a great idea!! the sun wont get to the bottles either!
i was also thinking of fixing a series of spikes or bars round the gutter so i can put the stubby holders there!

any other ideas? i'd appreciate it. barls, i'm not fitting a front, that would stick out half way across the bedroom!
