Out of interest a few thoughts for the staurn guys -
Are you planning to sell the bits from the bunldes seperately - e.g. brake hose, pressure switch etc?
Have you thought about adding a 7 piece package to the bodywork kits i.e. the 6 piece including the bonnet?
As the suggestion has been made regarding wishbone jigs - how about making a set that are rented out on a refundable deposit basis with a small rental charge?
Have you thought about adding some of the ancillary bits - e.g. i'm thinking about things like brackets for the polo and clio rads etc.
Finally - something that would be really useful to those of us who plan on getting bodywork but cannot afford it yet would be a drawing showing where the nosecone sits, either end of the bonnet and the scuttle position. Also at this point it would be useful to have the cross-section shapes. The reason I ask is I would like to make cardboard templates to tape to the chassis while I finish the engine bay so I can ensure that everything will fit under the bonnet.

Cheers

Thanks for your kind words David,

You have some good suggestions there, leave it with us for a day or 2 & we,ll see what can be done on each of them.

Tho , on the idea of "hiring out" the wishbone jigs, this may well cost more than making the jig as our wishbone jigs are made from 5mm plate & so the postage cost would be quite high due to the weight

Not that we,re dismissing the idea, just looking at the cost factor to each person that would want to hire them.

keep the suggestions coming & we,ll do what we can .

cheers
andy
