recycled car bodies & a caravan
I went for a pint in Norwich on Saturday with my son and we sat in a bar near the river and moored opposite was the weirdest boat I have ever seen. I cursed myself for not having a camera with me so went back today to take pictures.

Re: recycled car bodies & a caravan
The big blue thing underneath it all is a boat hull, when the tide was coming in Saturday it was bobbing around so its definately a boat. here is another pic to show it is definately floating [frame]

Re: recycled car bodies & a caravan
It's a good way to get a weatherproof roof with added windows, even weatherproof doors all in one go.
Consider trying to fabricate all the from scratch.
Wouldn't last long if it was getting sprayed with sea water mind.
