Not sure if this is a repost, but I came across this whilst looking for videos of the BAC Mono.

Not sure if this guy is mad or a genius. His welding could use a bit of work either way.

[FreeLitres]

Thats pretty cool. Great project!

I'm not sure I would trust home made welded suspension arms though!

[Dave Hedgehog]

indistinguishable from the real thing

So much fail yet strangely a small amount of achievement as well.

Top marks for having a go at building it with limited parts, should be entertaining to drive!, welding looks like stevie wonder did it though, dont think some of those welds will stand up to much abuse!

[Fleckers]

he has balls to do it

chicken ste welding needs to get better

would I buy it, drive it or be a passenger

Hell no

[Mastodon2]

It looks like it would about 5 minutes of spirited driving before it fell to bits.

[Dr Interceptor]

Skip a few parts and he's got it running... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29-vJYl1xlg&fea...

Says it only cost him $1000 for the whole project, incredible stuff

[Mr2Mike]

10/10 for enthusiasm, motivation and general have-a-go-ness. 1/10 for welding ability.

[Dr Interceptor]

In fairness, he can weld 100 times better than me (having never held a welding stick in my hands).

What he has built there is one up from the buggy one of my mates made with a gxr engine for a giggle. There are a lot of good ones out there though..

It sounds just like the real thing also

10/10 for effort

[busta]

Awesome stuff! Good on him for giving it a go with very limited resources.

Look at the hilarious front camber at 4.40.

Then on the part 4 vid when he has it running, check the wiring at 1.25!

Brilliantly awful.

How long before the chinese do a copy of his copy

I test welding as part of my job. That's fking awful! Are those old scaffold tubes?

[CambsBill]

Wow, that was a close call - I was just about to order one from Ariel. Now I can same a pile of money and get this guy to build me one instead
