Well, it's got headlights, 4 wheels, a 5 speed box, a seat, a steering wheel and a reverse gear! More street cred than a Vauxhall Shovette or an Austin Allagro surely.
Bought it in bits for £50. Took 5 months of on and off tinkering, welding, sourcing parts and full strip down. That was some 8 years ago now and she's still going. Had to source another cutting deck which was in a mess but less of a mess than mine and eventually another engine.It was originally a 6hp engine, now it's a 12hp - you can almost do wheelies on it.
Local sprayer came up with the the idea of painting it Landrover Green with off white wheels.
...and finally. Blood, sweat, tears, tantrums and general chucking of my toys out of the pram. 'Rocky Rocket':
I have since reupholstered the seat.
