Exeter Roadster build

[AndyLockwood]

HI all,

just thought id post a pic of the start of my build. I recieved my chassis kit courtesy of HandyAndy on thursday. The kit was well packaged and each individual piece marked with an id number and the angle of cut. Great quality good price and well reccomended. I apear to be working in the smallest build space in britain but so not having to purchase extra space consuming cutting equipment has been a bonus.

The base rails all went in well with all check measurements within 0.5mm! which i was quite pleased with and im now at the second stage of the chassis construction with the two top rails having just been tacked.

all good fun

Andy:D

The flat pack option certainly gives the build a quick boost :) :)

Very cool,

took my border collie out in the car once with his lead tied to the handbrake and he loved it, ever since, when the car used to be in my home garage, he would go wild when he heard it start up or come in from a drive.

Dogs are cool, except when they leave a puddle of piss on your newly tiled kitchen floor just before you go down for a drink in your bare feet during the night................:mad:

You'll have to get him some goggles for welding......AndyH

looking nice there Andy, putting the diagonals in gives the chassis a sense of depth & strength appearance so to speak.

& the rear diff cage gives a sense of the length to the whole chassis, just a few more inches to the rear is the total length.

nice work :cool:

cheers

Excelent work..

Although I would have loved the challenge, I am kind of glad I am taking the short cut route...
