    Hi - I'm working on a summer project with my 9 year old daughter to build a - sorta - soap box racer. Although I'm building the frame out of new timber, we want to build it by recycling as much as possible.

    Back in England 40 years ago we used pram wheels for this sort of thing, but of course nobody has prams any more! :) So, if anyone has a stroller or a wagon with good size wheels - say around 10 inches - that they were going to put by the curb, please PM me, with a picture if possible, and if they will work I will come and take it off your hands and take what's left over to be recycled.

    I'm also trying to figure out some sort of a seat, so if anyone has one of those old metal-legged chairs with a plastic seat they want to get rid of please PM me too.

    Power will be provided by pushing and gravity, so please don't worry that someone will be zooming around the neighbourhood in a home-made stockcar! :)

    Moderators, if I've posted in the wrong frum please feel free to move me.

    Thanks
