The anti-chequebook approach to the restoration and modification of old cars, in particular classic Fords. Budget, DIY home-grown fabrication and dedication as opposed to ready-made parts. In the shed, not off the shelf.
Person 1: “Did you buy that jolly fine manifold off the shelf?”
Person 2: “Shelf? I made the shelf... My car’s built not bought, mate.”
Person 1: “You the man.”

Get the Built differently mug.by Ross Mcconnell August 14, 2006
Get the built like a brick shit house mug.Basically 4-O Sandro. He has a 4.0, and there’s a reason. You’re not gonna catch him slipping... or sleeping, because while the rest of the world is laying in bed, 4-O Sandro is busy getting ahead.
Girl 1: 4-O Sandro is truly built different. You know he drove directly to his research lab and worked a full shift while he was still recovering from his COVID vaccination? When I asked him why, he said: ‘It just had to be done.’
Girl 2: Omfg responsible, smart, and built-different. Just let me have his babies, already.
Girl 1: Gurl, yaas. You’re soo right!
