Default Looks like my build is going to be delayed...

As I've gotten myself a placement job working for Triumph Motorcycles, as a design engineer on the power-train side of things.

The job means I'll be having to move down south, which is about a 3 and a half hour drive from my house. But I'll finish at 1pm on a Friday, meaning I should be able to come up a few weekends a month to do some work on the car.

So hopefully I'll have the car finished by the summer of 2011, instead of Jan 2011.

Sounds like a very nice placement Tatey

That's one of the best things about building the Roaster .... You can arrange the build to suit the time you have available.

Just think .... During that extra 6 months, you'll be able to save up for a bit more bling for the build
