Chris

Stage 2 currently being cut so will be ready for despatch as soon as you are ready for it :)

Thats when the chassis really starts to look like a car, :cool:
The smile will be even bigger then, :D

Cheers

Well done Chris
 
You have made some good progress there mate :cool:

Something tells me, you'll be ready for the second stage of your Handyandy chassis kit a lot sooner than you thought :D :D

The chassis comes together very quickly onece you get into the grove :)

Sorry i don't follow? swmbo?


Certainly is very exciting, i was really surprised how quickly i had the base layed out, i thought i'd be marking out the table for a good day but to my surprise it took about an hour to lay it out.

I've spent about 2 hours on it so far.

Thanks for all the comments.

She Who Must Be Obeyed ;)

AKA .... Er indoors, The trouble & strife, The other half & my favourite .... Honey Bunny :D :o

Well I have to say that, might want to spend some more money on my build :D

ChrisJ 19th February 2011 05:32 PM

Ohhh!! :o

Yes no problems there, i've simply not broken the news to her yet ;)

TheArf 19th February 2011 05:58 PM

I'm not a betting man but I'm willing to bet she already knows mate believe me its' a talent that they all seem to have

I took HID over to Saturn ( after I had bought the chassis and when I wanted the wishbones ) and she went out first in Andy's car.

The grin on her face when she pulled up was enough to confirm approval of the project :)

We are thinking of introducing a certificate for all new builders it will be issued following successful completion of the S.H.A.T. (Second Half Approval Test) which needs to be obtained prior to any new build commencing.

It will involve completion, by other half, of a multiple choice questionnaire, eg:

Amount of hours allowed on build without the "you think more of that car then me" being thrown up
How many cups of tea brought out per day
Xmas and birthday presents sacrificed for build parts
Amount of spend allowed per month
Acceptance of mood swings and grumpiness
When the swearing and banging emanates from the garage to give the builder a wide berth for an hour or so
Build budget allowed each month - including IVA costs
And So on

If the second half is in acceptance of these conditions then a test drive in a roadster will be given and hopefully, with a big grin, the second half will sign the SHAT certificate and the build can commence

:D Andrew :D
