One of the many tools I don’t have space for but keep anyway is an old Clarke fluxcore ‘MIG’ welder. I know I would need it as soon as I got rid of it. I have even used it for welding in a bodywork patch on our old car when it failed the MOT for a crusty wheel arch.
Very cool project BTW. It will look similar to the bike (not a bike person) to the best card in my Top Trumps (not the orange version) pack I had back in the 70s.

Thanks
I would like to learn but I'm accumulating extra tools as I do this and running out of space. FB marketplace had offered up a compressor, a scissor lift, a tyre de-beader, wheel balancer and brake piston kit for not much monies. I have a great metal fab shop 5 mins from home and unlike me the guy knows what he's doing. I would like to learn basic welding at some point - I might try and start with those Aldi/Lidl cheap kits they sell every now and then.
Yep tool storage is a problem for me as well.
10 foot or so of tool cabinets, 2 x Mig welders, Tig welder, Arc Welder, 6 foot tall vertical compressor, scissor lift, tyre machine, parts cleaner etc. Just about to purchase an electronic tyre balancer as well.
This of course doesn't include all the DIY tools.
