Welcome to the forum John

Well done on your progress so far

Briliant news to see that we have another West country builder


Hey Chris, we'll soon have enough members for a Western Roadster club

After building chassises and wish bones for other people and finding enough space for my chassis to worked on without tripping over it, I can now say that I'm building MY roadster. It'll be 4 inches wider and 2 inches taller to fit the style of seat that I need. It'll be powered by a 1600 cvh with standard carb for the IVA then might be tuned up with a 285 cam and a set of dcoe 40's that I have been given, possible 2ltr ZVH but nothing set in stone.

Whoever the 11 people are thinking about building just go for it!

It really is a great thing to get involved in and is not as complicated as you may think. There is lots and i mean LOTS of experienced people on this forum who are happy to offer advice and at the end of it all you will have the ultimate toy

I started my build in january and im still as enthused now as the day i started and the more progress you make the more it spurs you on to do more.

The only irritating thing is when you wake up at four in the morning thinking about ali fuel tanks and bike carbs

Hi All

Got the "Bible" for my birthday in August. (It helps when you tell them what you want).

Would love to say I am building the car, but I am not allowed to start untill I have finished doing the garage, which I cant do untill I finish the house.

So sometime next year, maybee. But DEFINATLY going to start, wanted to something from scratch ever since I built a kit car back in 1984 (What a pile of s******* that was... Avante if anyone wants to know).

The book is great, thanks Chris, and this forum is FAB.

Would love to join a club, and get a plaque for the car. (even if it is No231).

Thanks to all contributers.

Regards

Chris

A very warm welcome to the forum Chris

There's nothing stopping you from starting to gather some of the bits you need

Who knows what Santa may bring

Good luck with the build when you start

Chris,

Welcome. Finally someone who is in the next county and only an hour away.

I know you have not started yet but if you would like to pop over to talk about any thing roadster any time just give me a shout. I have a few weeks of (5) before Christmas.

I am 80% through my chassis build, excluding wishbones, and went to see AshGs almost finished roadster, we talked Roadster for two hours and it was great, really inspiring and a picked up loads of tips. Its good to talk

Any time mate.
