Is there such a thing? Needs to be relatively cheap for a set (£40 or less) and not really fussed what the content is. I just don't have the patience for modelling. Painting/gluing...I'd rather just put it together.
lego technic.
A Land Rover...
Meccano?
I've bought myself a Gears of War meccano (nerd alert...) but I don't think it'll be challenging enough. Perhaps I should build RC cars...
I came into the thread to say
A Land Rover...
But the I saw the £40 budget. Sorry, you'd need at least twice that. Maybe even three times.
Adult meccano?
Rexroth (mostly the aluminium profile struts) and the components that bolt to it.
BOSCHREXROTH.COM And yeah, more than £40. But if you want to prototype a mars rover chassis...
Land Rover + 1
But you need at least £45.
I might be able to stretch to £45 for a Landy, any takers??
Hilti Strut
what you'd be wanting would be a land rover made out of technical lego.
Unistrut!
Become a gas engineer or fit gas meters the amount of fittings it takes to get some in.
Buy a load of Dexion shelving from ebay and put it up in your garage or shed. One way to cure your desire for adult meccano 😉
You can find boxes of Capsela on ebay

Good shout IA.
I use this stuff a lot at work and it can be used for all sorts of bike related stuff. Wheel truing jigs, free stands, wall mount stands....
http://www.kjnltd.co.uk/ Are good, they will even cut it for you if you do not have the facilities.
Well and truly Meccano for grown ups!

EITECH.DE Using this as a source of parts for a Mamod steam engine project, with the boy.

Why have I never thought of this? There might be a wheel jig in my future...

I've got a bin bag of rust and some welding rods- the kitcar version.

Mk1 Wheel jig (secures in vice). MK2 will be freestanding and have a mount for a DTI.
