Hi everyone just joined this forum, and I thought I should introduce myself.
I'm Mick and I'm semi retired now and was toying with the idea of restoring a Triumph Spitfire and whilst looking on eBay somebody had advertised a kitcar there which got me thinking maybe that would be a better project than cutting out all them tin worms, so I done some research and bought the Haynes Locost
Book found this site and have decided to have a go so would be grateful for any information anyone would like to give me, never done anything like this but I'm
Quite good with my hands and willing to take any advice.
Sorry for such along winded thread.

Welcome to the forum.

1st off can you weld? if not do you want to learn or would you prefer the quick rout in of a built chassis?

Good Luck..

Welcome Mick, people here are very nice and helpful. You've been knocking on the right door
Have a look at the build threads (announcement section) or builder's blog, you can find a lot of inspiration there, especially for the start.
Good luck!
