It's my Roadster First Build Birthday!

[turboporscheandy]

bon anniversaire! looking good mate! have to second the comment on your garage being so tidy!thought my OCD was bad!

[Spikehaus]

I guess tidy = space! I am very lucky to have plenty of room, however dad was not looking to happy when I had both the build table and a half stripped Sierra sitting next to each other!

As for the floor, it was part of the deal that I could use the space and build the car as long as it did not get it dirty and fill the place with old car part!

My excuse is fibreglass and resin is a messy thing to play with....

Looking good Nick,

I'll have to pull my finger out and catch up! You'll have to let me know when you start the beast and I'll pop round for a cuppa.

Just out of interest, how much did the prop set you back?

[Spikehaus]

£161 delivered next day. I could not believe how quick they made it - That cost was for a Heavy duty prop and included postage, painting & VAT.

I purchased it from North West Propshaft, this was the best price I could find. I believe a standard prop will be about £131

I still have my original Sierra prop that I was going to modify, but due to lack of time recently and working 11 hour days, I decided to spend out to keep things moving.

Hi Daz,

I am sure that when I am ready to fire it up, pretty much everyone I know will hear about it! LOL

Well, I need to modify the sump, sort out the alternator as it will not fit in the normal position (but I have a plan!) Modify & fit the injection air box, radiator, radiator reservoir, buy a fuel tank & temp fuel lines. Generally make a few brackets for engine bits like the ignition amplifier and sort out the loom!

Should I am for Xmas???? or the Exeter Kit Car Show?

V6....uuummm just the job for late night blast down the A30

[Spikehaus]

Down the A30 to collect by bodywork! Hehe! I need a favour some time, I need to trial your seats. If you have some made before gel coat, could you let me know so I can try my Arse in it! Low side or wide I think?

I also need a nose cone and scuttle to mock up around the V6, I got a feeling I made need to commision you to make some custom parts? Don't be thinking ££ like I would! LOL Do you still have that other nose cone you posted a while ago? I think it may suit my project?
