From where did you get inspiration to start your own build?

[tkpm]

I was riding sports bikes up until September last year, the speeds and the death of a couple of mates, made me think about the future for me with bikes.

Had always wanted to build a kit car, but had only heard of the Cobra look a likes and Duttons, and bolt together Caterhams / Westfields.

Whilst saying my good byes on a bike forum, i had mentioned that i was going to build some sort of kit car, one of the guys tells me about the Ron Chapman and the newer Chris Gibbs book, so i go and buys it from Amazon.
Read the book over a few days and decide thats the way i would go eventually.
I was at my sister for a B&Q a few weeks later telling my brother inlaw i was giving up with bikes, he ask me what i was going to instaed of bikes, i told one day i would build a kitcar, he ask what i would use as the donor, my answer was a 2L sierra.

A couple of weeks later my brother inlaw phones me and say's i got your donor, it will be deliver Wednesday night, and my answer to that was oh bugger looks like i'm building my kitcar.

And have love ever minute of it so far.
