Is the cert still valid, if the rego has expired? Assuming no changes are made, can you re register the vehicle and carry on?

Took this photo the other day. Not my mini (I'd love one), but shows how small classic minis are.

Sorry, only just noticed your post. Yes, sounds great thanks.

Old school Johnson V6 2 stroke. Runs like a dream.

I've been lusting after a go-fast boat for some time now. This popped up for sale, so I sold anything I could that was a double up or I wasn't emotionally atrached to, in order to raise money to buy it. It was a bit rough around the edges cosmetically, but structurally it was in amazing condition. Its an American made boat manufactured by Excalibur, with a solid fiberglass (catamaran) hull. I've tidied it up quite a lot - taking a week off work and doing 7x 12hr days on it, putting work into making it presentable. Its now the right amount of rough, where I won't cry if my kids scratch it getting in/out, but overall it looks badass. Bring on summer!! And finally, "52" racing decals added to complete the look.

That's looking epic. Love the sheetmetal work.

Black vespa No3 Subtle custom race numbers added...black on black for extra street cred.

Fuck yeah!

Another one finished, came out pretty sweet.

My ocd can relax, everything in pairs and straighlines.

Got another vespa going. Im a sucker for a lost cause, try to save them all. Using parts I had left over from various projects I was able to fix this motor and get it going again. I put it into an LML Belladonna frame. Gave it a kick and it starts first kick...epic!! Super happy.

New shock. Beautiful bit of gear, but purchasing it felt like I was buying shares in the company $$$

Finished item. Pretty happy with this, really completes the look. And I get to insert my race number into it, which is something I put on everything I own.

Needs a wet sand, as I did a quick hit with dry 80grit...but ran out of time. It'll come up sweet. So stoked that I can just whip up custom parts like this. 3D printing has 100% changed the game for me.

Cool little drawing project. Butt plug for my steering damper bracket. Fucking love my 3D printer...

This weekends mission...calling it a win. Stupid fast polini kitted vespa motor, polini big bore kit taking it from 125cc to 177cc. Its awesome, can handle expressway speeds hangs with traffic no problem. Made two vespas into one good one. Fast and pretty...not a bad combination.

When I said money pit... This type of purchase was what I was referring to. Holy fuck...$600 delivered. Shit adds up fast on these projects. I haven't been counting, and don't think I want to put myself through that torture. So I'm going to pretend that I've spent nothing on this bike. This will be my coping mechanism from now on...

Came out amazing. Custom 3D printed LED taillight. Fuck yeah!! I've tweaked the drawing a little bit and I'm going to do a version 3.0. Slight changes...but mostly unseen.

V2.0 I'll print it this week when i pick up some black filament. Has 3x bolt holes to help pull in the edges for a nicer fit, plus a cord hole for wiring etc. Slightly thicker all round to be a bit stronger than V1.0.

It worked out awesome. I was a bit rough with it and took a chip out of it. So seeing how I'm having to print it again, I took the opportunity to change some dimensions to thicken up the real fragile parts, and undersize a few tight fitting areas. Hopefully V2.0 is the final ticket to success.

Having a go at designing my own taillight. Im going to 3D print it, so it fits into the rear hoop. It has a flange that extends 2mm all the way around the hole, so it'll hide any rough edges. Should look "factory" the way it sits in there. Cool little side project on its own.

Few hero shots^^
