I Started
 

After fiddling and being obsessed with cars for the past few years some one bought me the book a couple of months ago. i never thought i could do it but then soon after getting the book i started a new job in a welding shop and my mind started to run.
then my old m40b18 e30 bmw came up as a fragger on the zone. this was the first car i took to the nurburgring so holds a place in my hart. i contacted the dood with the car and got the engine and drive train back.
then i built a table that was flat and took up most of my garage. over the weekend i jigged up the bottom frame and this evening i added 4 uprights. low and behold my new car is starting to appear.
my welding and fabricating skills are not sooper hot but i have the support of work. most of whom think it is pie in the sky but are willing to help as long as i am plodding along.
i am so exited about the prospect and hope this site will be as much help as the e30zone has been for the years i have driven.

so there is my announcement. I HAVE STARTED:eek: :D :eek:

Welcome and well done its a good feeling
wait till you start puutting on the top rails itll really start to look like a chassis

welcome to the mad house of being a "Roadster builder" :D
congratulations on making the first step to your new car , each time you weld on a new piece you will have a big grin on your face.:D
all the best with your build.

You do sound right adrian. not to wine but i have burnt my thumb and lost my rag (HackSawing angles is much harder than setting up a band saw, though appropriately named. i am building up a pile of hacked up cock ups) even the hard earned cash bit is not to far off the mark. though i am not middle aged. i am young and having dreadlocks prevents my hair from blowing in the wind but unfortunately encourages premature hair loss. thats my excuse.
in all seriousness (cough) thanks for the welcome.

Wooooo another zoner. That forum has gone abit quiet!
Good luck with the build mate you'll love it!
