Default Time to say hello ;) - first milestone.

Hello Everybody, let's say I started building my roadster

I'm from Poland - so I think Alga is my closest neighbor

My plan is to use bike engine (R1/FZ1 - Blade - ZX9R - something below 1000cc) and have fun in local autocross.

I bought some Sierra stuff last year (3,62 LSD diff, rear hubs, rear calipers, front hubs) and Mondeo front calipers (for 278mm brake discs). Next will be engine - the most expensive part (individually). And then I will start tacking/welding my chassis.

P.S.> Sorry for my English - it's not as good as it should

Thank you all for very warm welcome.

Today is the day of my first big milestone - after over 2 months of training I became EU Certified MAG Welder



It's quite important, because, here in Poland, THEY sometimes require attestation that chassis is welded by certified welder. So - I can write one myself

Other thing is that I wanted to learn welding from professionals...

Now - I have to buy welder, steel and start building... and looking for engine donor bike.
