Default Handy Andys Chassis Kits

Just received mine and would like to say that it all looks fantastically done and I can't wait to get to get started on my build!

Rather than post it out he actually drove it all the way down the country with him as he helped Tatey move house and even offered to drive the extra 15 or so miles to actually deliver it to my door! This seemed a bit unfair after such a long drive so I got my dad to collect it from him as I had to go to work lol

Many thanks again and I hope you had good journey

I'd happily recommend Andys kits to anyone, his customer service is exceptional

Thanks David

I,ve just got home 427 miles in total, it was a slow drive down as the van was fully loaded, your kit inside the van along with Tatey,s engine etc etc & his fully built chassis on the roof

I think your parents were pleased to see Tatey,s chassis as they now have an idea what the kit will become

I,m glad you are pleased with your kit, & remember if you get stuck just shout

cheers

Instead of starting a new thread to thank Andy (he must have quite a few by now....).

I just want to give a massive thanks to Handy Andy! Without his help my chassis, engine, pillar drill and other doner parts would be sitting back at my house near newcastle. It now means I can finally start working on my car again, and I'm still aiming to finish the car for Jan 2010, so I've got my work cut out for me .

I have a couple of photos of me sitting in my chassis on Handy Andy's roof, but im currently on mobile broadband due to not having internet in my house yet, I'll try and give it a go later on but cant promise anything.

Once again thanks Handy Andy!

You,re very welcome Tatey, glad I was able to help out

The van literally "flew" back on the return journey.... even had to lift off the throttle now & again

I,ve got a pic of you sat on the roof of the van, I,m just having my dinner then I,ll post it up.

Get all your stuff sorted & get cracking, you,ve got a nice sized modern garage to work in....no excuses now

cheers
andy
