Build area


This is the area behind the shed,where the car will be built.(see the problem that I am going to come across once the car is built,yet?) : )

The build area! : (

This is a pic of my back garden at the moment.
I like to think of it as a blank canvas!
The 6x4 shed is due to be replaced by a 10x6 shed/workshop,and the build area is behind the shed. We are waiting for a skip at the moment to clear everything out,so I can get started.

The Factory Prototype


This is the prototype J15.
Just to let you know what it is supposed to look like!

The plan is for mine to be black,with a modern interior,also I have ordered my chassis without a roll bar, hopefully making provisions for a removable one during the build.

Introductions

As a brief introduction.
I am 41,and live in Littlehampton,West Sussex.
I have had an interest in kit cars for longer than I can remember,but never had the opportunity/time/money to do it.
None of that has changed,but I have decided that if I don;t do it now,I never will!
So what the hell,why not just give it a go.
I sold my collection of remote control cars/boats/helicopters,and bought some donor parts,like the brakes/front uprights etc,which come from various Fords.
If anyone wants any more info,please ask.
I ordered the chassis,along with the shock absorbers from Sylva in December,to be collected from the factory late January (ish!).
I will be building the car in my back garden. I thought about renting a garage near by,but the ability to pop out into the garden to work on the car was too much to pass on.Although by doing this,I have created a large problem,that I hope to have come up with a solution to by the time the car is finished!!( More on that later.)
