Not sure if the thread has any info but the shed that Rusty was in burnt down. It's currently undergoing some form of resurrection.

A mate of mine Nige just loves building anything by hand.
He's got a Full chassis Hilux drifter and a bagged Trailer on the go at the moment...
Has also built a few Drift Nissans and a Motard Cafe Racer.
Have a browse at his blog sometime!

Strive for perfection in everything we do. Take the best that exists and make it better.
When it does not exist, design it. Accept nothing nearly right or good enough.
