2 Skint
2 Scrap
Budget builds, honest content, and real restoration work – all filmed at my workshop near Milton Keynes. No massive budgets, no sponsored fluff. Just me, my tools, and whatever project’s on the ramp.
Cars, Bikes & No Budget
I started the 2 Skint 2 Scrap channel because I wanted to show that you don’t need deep pockets to build something you’re proud of. Every project I take on gets filmed – the good bits, the disasters, and everything in between.
Whether I’m welding up a rotten sill, laying down colour in the booth, or just figuring out why something won’t start at midnight – it all goes on the channel. It’s proper DIY content for people who actually get their hands dirty.
The name says it all really. Too skint to pay someone else, too stubborn to scrap it. That’s been the story of every build I’ve done, and I reckon a lot of you lot are the same.

DIY car & bike builds on a budget. Custom cafe racers, classic restorations, welding, spraying – all from a one-man workshop in Buckinghamshire.

Cafe Racer
This is where it all started. My dad left behind a Suzuki GS500F, and I decided to turn it into a cafe racer as a tribute to him. Every single step was filmed – from dragging it out of the shed to that first ride after the MOT.
It’s not a polished TV show. It’s me in my workshop, figuring things out, making mistakes, and eventually building something I’m genuinely proud of. The whole playlist is here if you want to follow the journey from start to finish.
1966 Volvo
Amazon
This one’s a proper challenge. An abandoned 1966 Volvo Amazon that most people would’ve sent straight to the scrapyard. It’s rotten, it’s rough, and it’s exactly the kind of project I love.
I’m documenting the full restoration – rust repair, panel fabrication, and bringing this old Swedish tank back from the dead using basic tools and a lot of stubbornness. The series is just getting started, so now’s the time to jump in.
What You’ll Find
Full Build Series
Start-to-finish project builds, every step filmed. From stripping a shell to the finished article.
Spraying & Paint
Prep, primer, colour, clear coat – watch how a proper respray comes together in the booth.
Welding & Fabrication
Cutting out rot, making panels, and welding things back together. The messy but satisfying stuff.
