MK will do you a full kit to build an INDY which was part of the development of the Roadster.

Luego, GBS, Tiger, Caterham, Dax, Westfield, JC also do similar styled 7 Kits at various price marks.

Cool Welcome to the forum

A very warm welcome to the forum Correl

As above really ............We are lucky to have a whole host of supliers that are active forum members

If you are wanting to get off to a flying start ......Why not invest in one of HandyAndys flat pack chassis kits ............ Heck he'll even throw in a full size template for you to mark out the build table

Search the links that TT posted, I am sure you'll find more parts than you can shake a stick at

Will be great to have another Roadster build starting


Oh ...........Nearly forgot ........... Avoid GTS like swine flu ......... Quality varies wildly & you'll be lucky if you even get any parts at all, once you have parted with your money.!!?? ( Probably dependant on if you live near enough to DG to go & give him a friendly nudge !!?? )

Please be very careful what you say in an open forum, you are entitled to your opinions and comments but be aware that what you have written could lead to some very costly results. Although I'm not a fan of the afore mentioned person/company having seen his work and corrected it for his past customers! I do not and never will blatently write any thing that will cause me any come backs.

The written word is only liblelous if it is not true ............ I did give some thoughts to my comments before posting them

I don't think the afore mentioned company would like to have their reputation put to the test via a civil court action

Up to the member to do their own research and draw their own conclusions.
