Hello Captain....and everyone else, this is a bit scary...1st post `n all that. Meant to do the intro thing but in at the deep end is the best way sometimes!

I would be interested in your chassis. Had a look at your blog thing and you mentioned Handyandy had looked over it. What did he find, is there a lot to do? would it be within the scope of a welding muppet such as myself?

Could poss meet you on your travels on friday

Best regards

Andy...yep `nuvver `un

Hi Andy, welcome to the forum. Handy mentioned one of the front wishbone mounts was askew, and a couple of the welds at the back end needed tidying up. Make me an offer, need the space and its far too good to chop up.

Hi, sorry for the delay,

Captain - which way are you heading south on Friday, are you coming down the A1 ? Would you be able to drop the chassis off on your way? I could meet you at Goole which is along the M62 a bit ....or is that too far off your chosen path?

Also just read your previous post regarding bits for sale. Did you have anything else of interest left in your garage ?

Jaykay - not in Hull, although go there a bit with work. I think there were a few East Yorks Roadster builds at one time - Neil P has finished his and a couple of people out near beverley were starting. There was also a bloke finished a white roadster at your side of the Humber near scunny. Be interested to hear from anyone in the area.

Playing me cards close to me chest on this one Kev. All will be revealed next week. It's not what people will expect, in fact I'm surprising myself in all honesty.

Bloody hell Kev, have you been stalking me? It's actually a jet boat/hovercraft hybrid using a reliant robin chassis & body shell. Thinking about fitting wings to also achieve jet propelled flight.
