Hi pop. Good to see you're back on track. I know I lost 4 months when the enthusiasm died for different reasons but then you go back and it's the best thing for taking your mind off other shit and focusing on something positive. Every nut cleaned, every weld done (or cut of with a grinder in my case) is a step closer to the end, even when you make a shed load of mistakes as I did, I'm still closer to the end than I was the day before.
On a different matter I've a small grinder free to a good home if you can collect from wolves or Amersham. The switch is really stiff but other than that is fine.
Steve.

Hi Steve. Thanks for that, it's a very kind offer and I'd like to take you upon that, it would be very helpful. I'm only half hour or so away from Wolves, as it happens. Let me know if that suits and thanks for the thought. Glad you got back on track, hopefully I'm back on mine now. 8)

Bit of progress yesterday, on a day of with the Girl.
Started off by going backwards, putting it all back together again... :o Decided that I needed some really good clear photos of it side and front on, so I can make a firmer plan of the finished look and dimensions. Still undecided about the seat, so have decided on complete bespoke. Taking these snaps, I will be getting the tracing paper and protractor out and drawing out how I want it. Once I have it done properly, I will know where I'm cutting and what I can lose.
Looks like I can lose a good wedge off the length of the seat / back end, which is good, as I want to stay inside the centre of the wheels front and back, ideally :
