Nothing wrong with that...

Do something out of the ordinary with it!

If you carpet queeners are never going to ride the old school builds then what difference does it make if they are any good or not? (there is no emoticon for a joey face)

that's a cool frame, but build it up cheap, those crop up for sale complete every now and again and they cost next to nothing.


too good to throw away though.

Took it out of the skip to see if there was any useable parts ,
Nope
So left it on my drive nr skip for scrapman or chavs or whatever
