==================================================

Post on this thread to:

1. To be added to the list. Post URL, engine type and size, and gearbox type.
2. To add information where "??" (indicates unknown) is shown.
3. If any links need correcting i.e. are incorrect or have become dead.
4. Point out any other errors/omissions
5. Suggest improvements

Above the following line will be kept current as we get more information on diaries and galleries.
Below the following line is my original post that started the thread.
----------------------------------------------------------------

I, now and again, have a trawl of the Internet for Haynes Roadster build diaries. To have a read of what others are doing

and to look at pictures of their builds. I have also learnt a lot from Ash's build in CKC, and find reading and seeing

other's builds an inspiration and good for picking up tips too.

I have two here:

Beardy John - http://www.beardyjohn.com/index.html
Diary of a Roadster (Kit Car) - http://www.tamarisktechnicals.com/pages/roadster.html

The first seems to be dorment, no recent posts
The second is very comprehensive

Maybe forum members might like to post links to other Haynes Roadster builders' diaries that they've found on this thread,

then we can build up a list of diaries.

I'd be happy to colate the thread now and again so as all the links are in a single post.

I've also come across some very comprehensive Locost build diaries, from stripping the donor to IVA, should we include these,

or try and make it Haynes only?

What do you think?

P.S. Just found owner of Tamarisk Technicals site - after having a crusie round Locost Builders, it's AdrianH!

Gallery 2
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...4&l=a9831a9319

Around 400 pics in total and I normally update every week or so. I try and take pics of some of the less interesting bits so may be of use to some builders. High quality copies of any of the pics available on request (in total I got 1.2gb of pics of the build!!)

Cheers

Mine is in my signature, however it doesn't get updates as often as I'd like, as I post more in this thread:

[AshG]

Ginge and i decided this is worth making a sticky in the announcements section as there is some good resources for all builders.

[DStanley1809]

I think it would be even more helpful if all the links listed which engine the build is using next to the name of the person whose diary it is.

This would help other builders find engine/gearbox specific information more easily than having to read each diary until they find it.

[eSteve]

Both good ideas.

If you're on the list already let already let me know what engine you are using (type and size), and I'll add it in, and I'll tidy up some of the ugly URLs as well while I'm at it.

If you want to be on the list, URL, engine type and size please.

Anyone found any non-member build diaries for Haynes Roadster that can be added?

Also, do we want links to Locost build diaries or not (in a seperate section)?

What do people think?

[gingea1pom]

eSteve,

I am using the 1.8 CVH from the donor

Cheers Ginge

[AshG]

lets just keep it to roadsters for now and see how many we get :D

Ok, my build is based around an I4 2.0 DOHC engine mated to an MT75 5 speed box.

==================================================

Thanks for the info. chaps. Where if have placed "??", it means I don't know. If you let me know I can add it in with the next update.

P.S. If you're are wondering why I'm idling my time on here in the day and not at work, it's 'cos I'm on holiday for the week! I've been clearing out the garage (for the third time) ready to start on my build.

Earlier on in the week I welded up a welding cart, to get some welding practice in, just needs some hooks welded on for cables and the torch then painting. Next on to building the build table. Bought some trestles via eBay for £5. The metal type that builders use. Was going to use wood for the build table legs but will use the trestles now and rest/attached a stiffened bit of ply to the top. The trestles are high but I think this will be good as I won't have to bend down to work.

So back to the garage... or maybe just sit in the garden....

[gingea1pom]

eSteve,

A sterling job you are doing. I am using a type 9 attached to my 1.8 CVH I am guessing that’s what the ?? Where for.:D

Building the bits that you need to build the car is as rewarding as ploughing on with the build.

Cheers Ginge

[Enoch]

Oooh, very nice. I wish we could get away with a dashboard like that.

[raceral]

Thanks for the compliment, I would have assumed that you could do the same kind of style over there, in fact probably better because of the easier access to vintage looking switch gear.
Of course I could be type casting on old assumptions based on the British TV shows we get over here.
Maybe old British TV shows:rolleyes:
Also to be honest I haven't been through certification yet, so I dont know at this stage whether I will have any problems.
Most Hot Rod dashes are similiar so it should be ok.

Al

[Enoch]

Hi Al, we have access to the gear but the IVA test means we can't use it. The daft thing is that after the test we can do pretty much what we like. As far as the dash is concerned anything that is more than 127mm from the centre of the steering wheel has to have rounded edges or be sunk in to a padded dash. Toggle switches are out altogether - it makes it impossible to recreate authentic replica dashes for things like Cobras and Jag e types. We do get a much easier test than people in many other countries though so we can't complain too much.

Michael,

opps, sorry.


You're not getting picky, you're quite right to point out the spelling mistake, especially in one’s name.

I can't even say it was finger trouble as it was wrong in three places! A least I was consistently wrong!


I have now corrected all three of them

My surname has an unusual 'n' in the middle of it and it always annoys me when someone transcribes it incorrectly.

My R1 is going to be replaced with a gen 4 Toyota 3sgte 2 litre turbo and 6 speed altezza box.
Link to re-power:

Loved the R1, but tired of the noise.

I'm going to try and keep a record of progress: http://meandthekitcar.wordpress.com

The plan is for a 1.6 Pinto with Type E gearbox. Coz that is what is in my donor. This might change...

I must apologize for being slow to update my expired Webshots link.
The Webshots site I was using no longer offered the same format and my photos were lost.
What I am currently using is a freebie build website to show my photos.
As this is an ongoing process there will not be too much initially to see but should be more with photos and comments as I get time to input them.
Any comments are always welcome as to my construction of the site, or car for that matter.:)
