Well nearly! they have anti slip tape 1" wide in the Patrull range for 3.99 a roll and they have split convoluted tubing silver complete with silver cable ties for £2.99 a metre! Something to watch out for when SWMBO takes you shopping there

Very bling - Do they do flat pack superchargers by any chance?

That's what I love about locost builders. People make cars out of colanders and wardrobes. Fantastic.

A friend of mine made his steering column shroud out of an aluminium IKEA flower pot...

You wouldn't laugh if you saw how good it bloody looks!!!

the stainless wine rack would make a nice heat shild.

tesco value stainless pedal bin - great stainless heat shield for your exhaust with minimal bending and a few holes drilled for that sporty halfords look!

Have seen locost front lights made out of ikea brushed stainless steel bowls as well - near perfect perabolas, spot on size, 80p each. I had two the next time i went to ikea and they were the first ever locost bits i bought.

Then of course there is the 99p alloy drinks bottle catch tank.
