Thanks guys, the support means alot as always.

Yes, i've already let Andy know i'll be needing stage 2 in a week or two's time, i thought it would be a month between stages but i can see the chassis together in a month at most.

I'll try and get things like suspension brackets, steering rack etc ordered ready to attach.

Chris

Sorry i don't follow? swmbo?


Certainly is very exciting, i was really surprised how quickly i had the base layed out, i thought i'd be marking out the table for a good day but to my surprise it took about an hour to lay it out.

I've spent about 2 hours on it so far.

Thanks for all the comments.

Chris
Stage 2 currently being cut so will be ready for despatch as soon as you are ready for it

Thats when the chassis really starts to look like a car,
The smile will be even bigger then,

Cheers

Smile Well done Chris

You have made some good progress there mate

Something tells me, you'll be ready for the second stage of your Handyandy chassis kit a lot sooner than you thought

The chassis comes together very quickly onece you get into the grove
