New build.....

[HandyAndy]

go for it Davie, at least you,re not out on the town, being in the shed/garage is far better time spent

may i say to all that Davie has been very patient as the delivery firm that i sent the pack with took far too long to deliver the kit, & it was one of the big courier companies too, so i,d like to say thankyou to Davie for his understanding & wish him every success with his Roadster build, hope one day you,ll take me for a spin in your car.

all the best

andy

[davielad]

your right sean,
its so easy to put it together, an absolute dream.
its the only way, and handyandy's workmanship and customer service is top class.

Looking good Davie

Surprising how quickly it all comes together

One thing for sure, I wish I had the option of a flat pack chassis kit when I started my build

I'll be sure to follow your build progress

cant beat a precut pack. takes the stress out of firstly finding and working out the steel then getting all the angles correct. andys packs are actually better than the one i got ages ago from armoto as he actually cuts all the front frame parts for you including the 13degree notched bit, which saves a big headache. also helps that andy has built a roadster meaning he knows all the little bits that need that extra attention making an even easier build for the customer

hi davielad must be somthing in the air not as much progress as you today ,using hacksaw none the less very satisfying

[davielad]

thanks guys,
i like seeing progress and i was very happy the way yesterday went. the bottom rails were very tough to square, but once they went together it was simple and fast.
it is the most satisfying jigsaw i ever put together, with a big pile of steel just getting smaller and smaller.

"andys packs are actually better than the one i got ages ago from armoto as he actually cuts all the front frame parts for you including the 13degree notched bit, which saves a big headache"

yes ash, it made life very easy

[davielad]

well i nearly have the whole chassis together except the suspension brackets.
i finding them hard to make, i.e. get the holes to line up after they are bent.
anyone have any idea's?

also which way up are the diff plates CP10(?) mounted? the holes are offset.


thanks,
davie.
