Default Slowly getting sorted

Well, got the bible nearly 2 years ago and am now slowly getting into a position where I might actually be able to start my build!

Moved in to a new house in January which has a nice roomy integral garage which over the last couple of weeks has been emptied of left over boxes (from the house move), etc, and has been painted and racking put up. Just waiting for a bit of free cash to buy a shed to get things like the bikes and lawnmower moved into.

Also, I've managed to find an evening course at a local college to learn how to weld. I want to make sure the chassis is welded properly and isn't going to come apart unexpectedly while on a motorway for example!
Plus I get a qualification at the same time.

After that, I'll be pestering Mr Handy for a precut chassis kit.


Where a roadster will be born....

So, soon some pictures of the same room with a table and some steel tubes? Good luck with the courses and the build start, you'll see, it is a great adventure

Looking good there although you may need to replace the clock with a calendar if the rest of our build times are anything to go by, I'm into my third year!

Doesn't look like that now! It's been filled back up with the racking & associated boxes, tumble-dryer, engine, crane, etc.

I'll find and upload the photo of the dining room with the contents of the garage (inc. engine) in it. er-in-doors was not happy!
