Badger's Build Thread
Well after many years of what can only in reality be called fiddling around with car projects, I have decided to build myself a Seven-esque car.
I picked this up the other week from a kind gentleman in west Wales, who was selling it as an part built project- some of you may recognize it as the Help for Heroes roadster. All was in very good order for the price, and so a deal was done and it was brought back to Brizzle. The whole package consisted of the chassis, bodywork and running gear, plus a few extras.
So the first order of the (next) day was obviously to have a sit in it, make some "BRUMMMM" noises and see if the engine fits (it does... just!).
The scrotey looking fellow in the overalls is none other than me, whilst the gentleman in the coat is my best mate Beaver who has been helping me out with these kind of projects for far, far too long!
Since having it I have stripped it right back to inspect and modify it, and it is now less complete than when I bought it! I've stripped out the floors (I'm going to use aluminium) and am modifying the chassis slightly to strength it. However like the eejit I am I've left the camera in the workshop! So for now I shall leave you with a picture of Cooky, the car I originally bought as a donor but then found I don't need it, and is now serving as a bit of fun.
