Default My build thread...

As I can't keep myself contained any longer and me keep wanting to ask questions about lots of things I thought id start my build thread..

I am picking up my chassis kit and a few donor part on Saturday courtesy of Bigjase thankyou very much! And I will be going to see Saturn on Saturday morning just to see how everything works etc

I can't wait to start my build the thought of everytime me and the other half get in the car knowing it's something that's been built from scratch is truly amazing!

I will put some pics up over the weekend as I'm hoping to start on the build table

Dan

Bit of an update...

Me and the missus set off this morning and went up to see Spud at SSC just to get an idea of how things work etc... Brilliant chap and a nice place of work, i can see dealing with them an Ease!

While i was there i went out in ...... im sorry but iv forgot your name .... car fitted with an st170 engine running bike carbs, it was MINT the rush of the car was awsome and its spurred me on even more! thank you.

So with a massive thanks to Bigjase another member on here i have picked up a HandyAndy grp chassis kit 2 diffs 2 sets of wheels, clocks, wiring looms, shafts, steering colum... and lots of other bits and bobs.. so im definatley on my way to starting the build now...

The rest of tonight i will be studying the book page by page
