Rolling chassis at last!
 
4 Attachment(s)
Hi all
Just wanted to share the good news that i have finally got to the rolling chassis stage of my build.
I started with the armoto flat pack and along with purchases from john at 3ge and andy at saturn progress has slowly been made.
Hopefully i will be able to add a picture but if not i will get one added asap.
I would like to say a huge thanks to handyandy, without whose generosity i would still be sat with no welder and a large pile of metal box section and assorted tubes and plates.

Finally got pics attached now....

Great stuff
 
Well done :)

I can well imagine the sense of achievement that you are feeling :cool:

Personally that was a huge milestone in my build, one I might add, would never of happened if it wern't for the support of this forum :) :)

nice one, Im building a trike using roadster wishbones etc, but I can fully understand the excitement, I had been dragging along doing bits here and there, then came the day that it was off the jig, down on 3 wheels and wheeled it ouside, now theres a flurry of work going on.

strange but you seem to get a new burst of energy when projects start to actually look like something

nice work god!! ive got to pull finger and get mine started!!
pic3 is a great shot not too sure if its me but your roadster looks wider than the door that it has to get out ????
anyway looking good :)

Looking good there, I love the road sign, usually an indication of a good night out ;)

The door does look a bit small, still there's that guy who built a Lambo replica in his basement, the used a digger to dig it out :eek:

Kind regards

John

LOL I seen that site, was forwarded to me by a mate that remembered the weekend that I finished my BSA A10 restoration

not only was it in my living room, but I lived on 3rd floor of a converted victorian house ooops

that was the scariest most stressful 2 hours of my life, but we got it out the house.

Cheers for the comments guys, just to clear up the point about the door, my build has been started in a shed at work and very shortly I will have to strip it back down to paint the chassis etc. It will then be taken out of the little door and rebuilt outside before rolling it up to my house where it will be completed in our converted dog kennel :)

Looking great there Russ :cool:

Well done on reaching this milestone of your build, soon be sat in it making engine noises, & when you have it driveable you have some nice private roads there for a few test drives :cool:

cheers
andy

Cheers mate, I have had that idea also. When yours is on the road we will have to get it on the estate and get some pics as there's some excellent spots to get really nice pics that not everybody could get :)
