Simple one for me - design it, find some suitable wheels (ebay), have it fabricated and assemble !

Easy !!

Stats :

Material - 2mm Stainless
Size - 1.19m x 2.39m
Ground clearance - 40mm
Weight - 56kg (empty)
Liquid Capacity - 140+ litres
Castors - Nylon (With all Stainless fixings)
Cost - £270 approx (Not inc assembly)

Thinking of getting another one made next year.

I'm disappointed, where's the drain plug?

and the rubber edges so it can't damage the vehicle or cut your hands

Not a fan. It's not going to be used as a oil drain, only a tray, so I left one out.

Plus over such a large area and oils viscosity I figured that it wouldn't actually drain out easily, anyway.

They're smooth enough. I have some rubber stripping but thought it overkill.

You have an Mondeo Klub for Boys number plate!

That's dedication.

And that was before I even had a Mondy . . . . . I was always hopeful.

You say that as though the day a person can afford to own and run a Mondeo is the day they become a man, but not just any man, MONDEO MAN!
