Yes so far so good, need to organise the tubes tomorrow lol took ages to find the ones i needed coz there was so many lol

The sizes you have cut so far have got straight on the build board, haven't even needed a file lol!!

Looking forward to tomorrow, got to sort out getting gas for my welder. Then there's nothing stopping me lol

Not doing bad considering i started this less then a month ago!!

You may need to run a file over some of the cut burrs, I left the rear tub frame tubes extra long to allow for adjustment to the dimensions of the wider chassis.

at this rate , you,ll be finished before me :eek: :D

yes, there,s alot of tubes..........i,ve cut 4 kits in the last 13 days :)

enjoy your build :cool:

So your currently in the middle of a build of your own are you how may have you built now then?? Have you been taking any photos? What stage are you at with yours then??

HandyAndy 6th March 2010 08:05 AM

yes, i,m building my own car at the moment, have a look at the thread "big day" in the chassis section, thats me, :) lots of photos in the thread.

I also make parts for lots of folks cars , along side Spud at Saturn Sorts Cars :cool:

Your kit is number 16 that i have cut, thats the beauty of the Roadster, they are all based on the same design but allow each builder to "personalise" their own car in some way.:cool:

cheers
