It's my Roadster First Build Birthday!
 
Hi all,

Well, its a special day for my Roadster, it is exactly one year since I popped down to B&Q and put a sheet of MDF on the roof rack along with the timber battens. The build table was constructed by the end of the afternoon and the first chassis rails layed out.

Its amazing how much you can acheive with an average of one Saturday moring per week! I have even suprised myself!

I would like to use this opportunity to say a big thank you to Chris for the inspiration, and all the Forum members and new friends I have met over the last year.

Cheers

Spikehaus :)

Happy first birthday to your build that man :cool:

Very good progess in view of the amount of spare time available to you ;)

Having seen the build in the flesh, you have done a great job so far.

Yes Mark. I would eat my dinner from the floor of that workshop :D :D

bon anniversaire! looking good mate! have to second the comment on your garage being so tidy!thought my OCD was bad!

Spikehaus 19th July 2009 02:07 PM

I guess tidy = space! I am very lucky to have plenty of room, however dad was not looking to happy when I had both the build table and a half stripped Sierra sitting next to each other!

As for the floor, it was part of the deal that I could use the space and build the car as long as it did not get it dirty and fill the place with old car part!

My excuse is fibreglass and resin is a messy thing to play with....:o

Looking good Nick,

I'll have to pull my finger out and catch up! You'll have to let me know when you start the beast and I'll pop round for a cuppa.

Just out of interest, how much did the prop set you back?
