Mini jeep on ride on mower chassis

[rog8811]

I have been puting a build log together on my website, rather than loading it all up again here I thought I would post a link to the build then update this thread as I update the web page.

So this is where I am up to at the moment

That's very neat looking. I've got a Wheel Horse chassi plus a 10hp motor.

Might just have another project that I don't have time to do. 

  bits again.

Took a quick look at your site. Nice.

I woke up to rain today..... as I haver no desire to get the jeep body wet (welding shop too small for it all to fit under cover) I am here posting a progress report rather than modding metal.
Yesterday I made a start on the scuttle, the dashboard is nearly ready to be fitted...... that's it, end of report.

Nice sheet metal work.

I had to build a shower room in my house which put the jeep on the back burner for a while.
This w/e I got back onto it, the red oxide was a quick dusting to avoid rust whilst it was languishing untended in the garage.

I have now removed the original seat and the steering so that the new body sits in the right place.

Will it be road legal, Rog?

Will it be road legal, Rog?

I had never considered the idea of making it road legal, I think I could do without going through all the hoops that it would involve.
