my build thread!

[Bonzo]

Firstly, I do not believe that I have welcomed you to the forum yet.

Welcome to the forum

Looks as if you are nearly all set to start the fun bit of building the chassis.

Know what you mean about transporting large sheets of build materials home, it's a real PITA

Sheets of ply, steel & alloy are not the easiest thing to transport in one piece, I certainly miss my old Transit since I sold it.

Love the picture of you sitting in position .... Bet you did make the brum brum noises, even if it was just in your mind

Got to admit it, done the same thing myself at about the same stage .... I guess the little boy within never really goes away .... Errm hang on, when I started my build, I probably was still a wee lad

Haha thank you for your welcomes and "lol's" im pretty sure there will be plenty!!! more pics of silly nature coming ! :-)
guess i should shed a little light on my build
colour plan i would like which i believe to be a colour by Saturn of yellow green isit ? closest i can describe to be kawasaki green :P
engine: 2.0 pinto running some wild cams haven't decided exactly yet !
lightened bottom end
want it revving quite quick!
and the all important port polish as my father does that for a living.
stainless header "hopfully" fabricated by myself
gearbox: Type 9
and to top it off just to get the imagination going i would quite like to carbon wrap the seat pannel and gear tunnel. i believe I've seen it done on here somewhere :-) looks rather nice especially with that fluro green!!

All the Best with your build......Andrew

Pleased to see that you have your build table sorted.

I also notice that you have the right tools to hand, even down to the essential bottle of milk

Mind you, havn't spotted the kettle as yet, don't know about you but anyone on here that knows me, will tell you that I can't function without a cup of tea in my hand

Bit of a problem when I am TIG welding though

Certainly looks as if you are on a mission, nice one
