Maybe I should have cleaned the garage out a bit before taking delivery, but I will never learn. I'm using my motorbike ramp to build the rocket. Its rated at 450Kg so should be right on its limit.
I can change the height from 200mm to almost 900mm so should be very useful.

The obligatory pic of the floor been fitted, Which will be removed and fitted at a later date when the fame has been powder coated. I think I will be covering the floor with rubber matting to deaden the noise from stone hitting.

Note to self the garage really does need a tidy!!!!, I have also been eyeing up a new carpet, this one is looking a bit shabby, its in the front room. Not sure what "She who must be obeyed at all times" will think

I have noticed on other people thread that they have the same dint as me, I originally thought it was damage, must be there for a reason. I will be getting RTR to make me a full system, very similar to that of Mabbs

Went for the Joker pedal, so decided to remove MEV accelerator bracket, to make the front bulk head a better fit.
