Hodgsons
 
We are based in kings Lynn, we had an hour on it tonight,
Getting on quite well with the first chassis,
1 of us has bought a 1.6 mx5 for the donor car. Any thoughts!!!

Good choice of donor :cool:
Have a look at Saturn's MX5 plans.

It's not just my garage that manages to bend time then? If I pop in there for 10 minutes, 2 hours seems to fly by in the outside world :D

The group buy is for a diy powder coating system just add air and powder see my post and add your name on the list saving about 40 quid on each you lads could get one each so you can do parts at home

One of the crazy Four
 
Hi all,
Well at last I found a hobby and a group of freinds to share it with. It all started a week ago with just two of us considering a build, now a week later and there are four of us and a chassis well under way.......cool:)
Really looking forward to building something I... we can be proud of.
We have all split up into different roles so build will be much quicker but unfortuneately I am the old man of the group (well apart from TONY) so I get the tedious jobs "Jigs etc... but they will tell you otherwise. So far I've built two jigs and they have built nearly a complete front chassis.
Well I'm sure everybody will introduce themselves in due course except Tony possibly as we are still trying to get him to use a PC....:D

We will keep you posted of our progress with photos ( Hint....Hint.... Simon.) and would listen to any advice/help you can give us...

Thanks again Johno

It Doesn't sound like you 4 are a million miles away from myself and Skov, we're in the Ely/St Ives area

Welcome to the insane world of kit cars and skinned knuckles and cold nights spent in drafty garages/sheds..:)

Vodou have just the thing for a quadruple build, fresh new panels with some serious attention to detail that enables an easier build and very neat finished look to the car.
The Vodou plans also dial out the short comings in geometry with a lighter stiffer chassis again with some neat detailing to allow an easy to build car.

Both the bodywork and chassis have come from years of being involved with these type of cars and by grouping ideas and technical resources Vodou have created a cracker.
