A warm welcome.
 

A very warm welcome to the forum Chris :)

There's nothing stopping you from starting to gather some of the bits you need ;)

Who knows what Santa may bring :D

Good luck with the build when you start :cool:

Chris,

Welcome. Finally someone who is in the next county and only an hour away.

I know you have not started yet but if you would like to pop over to talk about any thing roadster any time just give me a shout. I have a few weeks of (5) before Christmas.

I am 80% through my chassis build, excluding wishbones, and went to see AshGs almost finished roadster, we talked Roadster for two hours and it was great, really inspiring and a picked up loads of tips. Its good to talk

Any time mate.

Ginge

a warm welcome to the forum Chris, get the work done on the house double quick & you can then put your suggestions to family/friends for any bits you need for your build just in time for Santa,s visit ;) :D

best wishes for your build.

Time for an update ??
 

I notice that we have had quite a few new builders joining the forum recently :cool:

Time for an update to the list per chance :)

Nice to keep this list up to date

I am sure that the great range of parts supplyers, we have within the forum, find this thread very usefull to gauge possible future demand for new products ;)

Perhaps this thread could be made a sticky ;)

building one, started boxing day 2008, workied away for 8 months since then, now have a rolling chassis with a running 1.6 pinto on bike carbs. started from scratch and apatr from the shocks only spent about £200 so far including the donor, bodywork and wireing next, the worst jobs :cool:

Started about 18 months ago but project stalled for quite a long while after a period of being unemployed. The joys of our times. Started working in a barn but have recently had to bring the car home and into my small garage.

Using a bmw 318 e36 as a donor - cheap and plentyful.

HI All,

Paul from down under here,

I started building mine 5 months ago but I would
be lucky if I got 3 full days equiv per mth. I am using
a nissan sr20de n/a, cortina front uprights and nissan
pintara live axle and will ride on 17 in wheels.

Paul

p.s If I had access to all the parts that the UK guys
have I would be close to finishing. You guys are so
lucky.

paul most of the bits we use from the sierra you can find on the p100 pickup out in oz and nz. especially the front uprights. hope that helps if you didnt already know
