The making of this car has left me with some profound thoughts that I will share at the end of this page, but for the moment I think it is suffice to say that I am more than delighted to be at the end of a very long and sometimes painfull journey!! The following photos show my finished car to which I am extremelly attached and proud ! the whole episode from first purchasing of the donor car right through to completion of registration has taken some 5 years and 7 months an epic journey given that some are completed in less than 6 months!! However during this time I have moved house twice, had two new jobs and fathered two lovely sons! so my worktime has really been odd hours here and there with the emphasis mainly at weekends.....
Please be patient these pics may takea while to download
My Profound thoughts..........
Firstly if you are thinking of building a kit car be realistic......
its harder than it looks... remember the Haynes manual prayer 'simply
remove.....'
Secondly make sure you have worked out a realistic budget...... added
a good contingency ...... then double it!! You might then be close!!
Thirdly remember to keep time for familly and friends... Building a
kit car can take over your life.... make the right priorities
Whatever you do make sure you finish it.... no matter how long it
takes!
dont let it end up in the part finished kit ads
And finally
SMILE AT EVERYONE THAT ADMIRES YOUR PRIDE AND JOY .......ITS WORTH
ALL THE PAIN
