We could give 'em a ring and see if they film us trying. Might be a squeeze though.

surely you'd be able to get it done because somewhere in the yard, purely coincidentally of course, there would be a front end of a chassis, and
somewhere else, there'd be a rear. there may even be some wishbones, not the bendy hi stress type mind, kicking around
I stopped watching scrapheap challenge religiously a while back as it got a bit far fetched. The early series really were about neccessity being the
mother of invention. Now it seems if they need a boat hull, or a propellor or a jet drive there will mysteriously be one found just as they're
beginning to scratch their heads.
anyway, my rant over

If you had the plans in advance, and enough people with enough different sets of kit, i recon you could build a locost in 10 hours. you'd have
to have several people on the go chopping tubes, people building wishbones at the same time as chassis and axle, a team of people stripping the
donor(s)... you might have to cheat on the bodywork.

We actually entered (the Locost club) a couple of years ago, everybody keen, until we got the entry form and everybody bottled it!

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

I'd love to do it, but my specialist field of engineering ends at hitting things really hard with a large hammer. Usually me.
