Hey guys thought id post a few more pics of my setup. Pretty ghetto yet highly effective....
First step was to get some ice for the carton of beer to be consumed during construction then heading to bunnings to grab some non-structural pine. This cost about $2.50 per 3m length and I only used about 4 or so lengths.
Next was to start making the base for the spare bucket seat with seat rails I had lying around.
Next up was making the frame to hold the wheel. I put a few extra pieces across it to keep it solid.
Made a simple shifter platform and a spot for the pedals to sit on out of MDF. It was time to move it inside to test it all out. The whole rig is slightly heavier than I hoped but can easily be moved with 2 people.
So after a nights worth of beers and testing the rig worked great! However the seat was getting to be a bit uncomfortable after a few hours.
So finally I swapped the bucket seat with a passenger seat out of my old AE86, put strips of carpet on the bottom to make it easy to slide around and gave everything a coat of paint to make it look nice.
All up it cost around $20 for materials, a carton of beer and a Sunday afternoon. Might not be the flashiest rig around but it works and it was cheap. Eventually id like to weld up a metal frame for it, but for now this works great
