Hello from South Africa

Hi Guys,

Just wish to introduce myself, I'm Cassidy from RSA. I abandoned my previous attempt at building a Locost in 2004 due to bad health + I had to relocate to a much smaller home and had to get rid of my chassis and donor engine and gearbox. Very traumatic affair, I must say.

Well, everything is slowly falling into place so that I can start with a build again.

I'm very happy to find this site and that Chris' car is based on a Sierra donor. My friend owns a scrappy so I'm confident I can get Sierra parts relatively easy.

I have'nt bought the book yet - as I just yesterday blew a lot of cash online buying books, but will do so at the end of the month.

I have got tor run now, but will be back with a lot of questions later on.

Regards

Cheers

Chris

Welcome to the forum cassidy

I hope your build progresses smoothly

Plenty of advice to be had from all on here.

Best buy two coppies of the book, one for reading & one for the workshop.

It'll also help Chris out

Welcome Mate,

I agree with having 2 Nr copies of the book, I have one very dirty book I use while building and in the workshop, and another (Second Edition) that I purchased as its a good reference point while on the this Forum.

If you dig around you will find many links to peoples builds. We seem to be experiencing a bit of a boom recently!
