I just thought i would bring this thread back to the top of the pile incase any new members missed it

There has been a few new names on the forum recently that i aint seen before, so just wondered if we have hit the 100 mark yet :)

Hi, I'am No. 99. Base layer of chassis sitting on build table since xmas but unfortunatley now surrounded by someones furniture and I promised not to get any weld on it, ho hum. Restarting very soon I hope.

To Neil from Invercargill (The home of Burt Monro?) you've got a lot to live up to, good luck.

Wonder what the true figure of inprogress projects is, many of them listed above will be aborted. some stalled some finsihed... This sunshine makes me wana get out and flip the chassis to get the floor pan on...... MUST RESIST!!!

No way. I was contemplating doing the exact same thing tomorrow.

Cheers Ginge

TT & Ginge

Flip the chassis over and do the floor .... Go on, you both know you want too & what great weather it is to :cool: :)

If either of you get into trouble with your other halves, tell em that Ronnie said it was OK :D :D

gingea1pom 12th April 2010 04:24 PM

Ronnie,

I have done the family thing for the first week of leave without complaining so this second week is all mine.

Cheers Ginge

Starting at last
 
Hi to all, best I add myself on here as Handy Andy told me to!!!

I am getting close to starting, got me welder (still need to learn to use it) got me steel and build table about to be erected in the next week(thanks to John Marchant for these) and away I go!!!!!

Will be a major learning curve for me as I go, but this forum is fantastic, been looking on it almost everyday for the last 3 months.

Well, I started yesterday. As of now I'm into 3D. Just. Front frame tacked on. About to finish cutting TR1 and TR2 when I finish this cuppa. Still haven't got a donor though:(

I suppose I ought to re add myself to this list, as
I am now building another one.

As most of you may know, I had to sell my Roadster just before Stonleigh this year.:(
Really missed no blatting through the local lanes this summer.
So have started again..:rolleyes:

do you have pictures?

jps 23rd July 2012 12:30 PM

Well - looks like this hasn't been added to for a while?! I'm building one, but it might already have been logged on here, as i've picked up a part finished project. Plenty left to do though - so I think I can still claim i'm 'building' it myself - even if some of the work has already been done...
