Cost under a tenner and took under a hour to knock up

Since I took pics I have made the ramp of the rears not so steep.
To be perfect they could do with some grip like surface on the rear up ramp.

So much easier to work on and get a jack under and great for washing as the wheels are 4" in the air and the tyres can be cleaned right round.
