MK will do you a full kit to build an INDY which was part of the development of the Roadster.

Luego, GBS, Tiger, Caterham, Dax, Westfield, JC also do similar styled 7 Kits at various price marks.

A very warm welcome to the forum Correl

As above really ............We are lucky to have a whole host of supliers that are active forum members :cool:

If you are wanting to get off to a flying start ......Why not invest in one of HandyAndys flat pack chassis kits ............ Heck he'll even throw in a full size template for you to mark out the build table ;)

Search the links that TT posted, I am sure you'll find more parts than you can shake a stick at :D

Will be great to have another Roadster build starting :)


Oh ...........Nearly forgot ........... Avoid GTS like swine flu ......... Quality varies wildly & you'll be lucky if you even get any parts at all, once you have parted with your money.!!?? ( Probably dependant on if you live near enough to DG to go & give him a friendly nudge !!?? )

Please be very careful what you say in an open forum, you are entitled to your opinions and comments but be aware that what you have written could lead to some very costly results. Although I'm not a fan of the afore mentioned person/company having seen his work and corrected it for his past customers! I do not and never will blatently write any thing that will cause me any come backs.

[Bonzo]

The written word is only liblelous if it is not true ............ I did give some thoughts to my comments before posting them ;)

I don't think the afore mentioned company would like to have their reputation put to the test via a civil court action :D :D

[twinturbo]

it's why i say "possibly avoid GTS"

Up to the member to do their own research and draw their own conclusions.

[davidimurray]

Don't think I've seen them listed so far so don't forget Rally Design

[twinturbo]

I kinda left em off as they are a generall supplier.

Cheers Ronnie :cool:

i,m quite pleased that the chassis flat packs that i,ve listed on the bay currently has 28 "watchers" which shows there is alot of possible new builders thinking about building their own car, which is great news for the Roadster :)

cheers

[correl]

Yes and Andy introduced me to this forum as i am one of the watchers at the mo!!!

[correl]

I am amazed that there has been so many responses to my first post in one day

[AndyLockwood]

I had one of Andys chassis packs delivered last week they are well worth the money and well cut with all parts and angles marked. Id recommend them to anyone.

cheers

Andy:D

It's not just about building a car, it's the forums, the freinds, the meets, the banter.

[correl]

Just can't wait to start stripping my donor car, then the kit will go on order with andy and let the fun begin!!!

[gingea1pom]

I can’t agree enough with your last comment TT.

I would not have been able to get as far as I have without the help of the forum and some people in particular.

Ash let me work on his car before the Exeter show, from which I learnt some invaluable lessons and he also supplied some hard to come by steal.

More recently Andy and Andy aka Spud69 and Handyandy of Saturn Sports Cars came up with the deal of a life time for me, it required a 580 mile round trip but there was a ride out in Spud’s car and I now have some shiny body panels.

Cheers Ginge

Hi Graeme,

Pleased it was worthwhile for your early start and 580 miles, was good to see you.

Tried out the saw yesterday, changed the blade and it works great - thanks. Also modified the tensioner to make it easy to change the blades.

Cheers......AndrewH

[gingea1pom]

Cheers Spud

Not that I am that bothered but it is Graham not Graeme.

Please tell me it took the two of you all afternoon to change the blade!

Cheers Ginge
