Hi Mick,

A warm welcome to the forum

There are quite a few Roadsters being built in the North East, we,ll have some great "run outs" when we,re all on the road

How far are you into your build?

Enjoy the forum, its a friendly place with lots of like minded nutters I mean builders

cheers
andy

you can attatch some ( although the size is limited ) or if you have them on something like photo bucket you can link to them ( look for the icon of a mountain and a sun and then past the image URL in the box.

Morning Chunky Mick,

Another local builder.....

I've already posted this morning but we have a few local builders coming down to the unit tomorrow morning to meet up if you would like to meet any local builders. You're quite welcome tomorrow or anytime if you're passing - might even get a blast out if its not too icy.

Regards....>AndyH

Hello Mick,

I didn't realise it was you earlier, just looked at your pics you have e-mailed me and the build is looking superb. From what i can see on the pics the car is one of the best builds i've seen. Can't wait to see it in the flesh, let me know if you want a second opinion prior to your IVA test. I've been told there is now a new tester at Sandy Lane who is a lot more easy going than the previous one so looks like you should be about ready to fork out the fees.

Cheers.....AndyH
