Big Up For Handy Andy
 
Thought I would just say, Handy Andy's flat pack kits are A1. I have just started putting mine together and everything is perfect, the angles are bang on and the lengths are perfect. Thanks Andy.... stand by for some stupid questions :)

Thanks for your kind words Shaun, glad to hear you are enjoying putting the kit together :)

No question is stupid if you are not sure of the answer, just ask away :cool:


Ash....Thanks too, the kits on display at Stoneliegh certainly created a great deal of interest. I think next year I,ll have to have a few kits available for folk to purchase on the day :) , not sure how many I can fit into my Roadster tho :D

cheers

As the economy seems to be in a bit of turmoil lately, & the purse strings are under pressure from all angles..........I,ve come up with a plan to help prospective Roadster builders spread the cost of purchasing a Flat Pack Chassis kit from me, after all, the title of the book is "Build a Sports Car on a Budget"
So hopefully this will help........

I will supply the Chassis Kit in 3 stages ( intention being to purchase 1 stage per month etc etc, might help keep the wife/partner happy ;) )

Stage 1 includes

Fully welded Front Frame
U1 to U8
BR1 to BR12
Spare Steel ( 2 sizes of boxed tube used in chassis & spare round tube if ordering the Ali rear tub frame spec kit ).
Also a few small lengths of "Scrap Steel" to practise on / set up the welding equipment.

Stage 2 includes

TR1 to TR9
SB1 to SB6
D1 to D13
SW1 to SW3

Stage 3 includes

RS1 to RS15
TT1 to TT12
RP1 to RP3 or
GRP1 to GRP2 dependant on choice of rear tub required.

This then allows the builder to make progress at each stage.

The cost of each stage is £80 plus £15 postage.



Admittedly, the cost over the 3 stages is £20 more than purchasing the full kit in 1 go, this is due to the cost of postage as the Carriers have a minimum charge per consignment but I feel the slight increase in cost is acceptable given that its spreading the cost of purchasing the kit over a period of months which makes it easier on the monthly household budget etc.

Chassis Kits can still be purchased as a full kit, the above just gives a builder the option.

Any questions/requests for info my email contact details are in my signature below VVVV.

cheers

Ordered my first stage today from the above offer.

Just wanted to thank Andy for giving builders like myself the opportunity to get started without having the outlay of the full package cost, It would of been a good few months before i could have purchased the full kit so this opportunity means i can get started and then next month, or sooner funds permitting order the next stage and so on.

To any would be builders thinking about this offer, i couldn't recommend it more, Andy is a fantastic guy and the support and advice already offered by himself and this forum is second to non.

Keep up the good work guys :)

Chris
