GT40: 69 replica

Newb from Leigh, NZ

Hi, what a great site. I've always had a passion for the GT40, and have for years toyed with the idea of building one. I've owned and run a mechanical workshop for 30 years, built and raced dirt cars, and never quite found the time to start a build. Just recently I purchased a GT40 replica 90% finished. The lights in the workshop have had a good workout over the last couple of months. I've been like a kid with a new toy. Can't wait for summer so I can get it out of the shed on a more regular basis.

Steve and Felicity

Welcome Steve.

Jeez, I had to look up Google to see where Leigh was! Good luck with the car, how about posting some pics or starting a build thread.

Re: Newb from Leigh, NZ

Thanks for the welcome,
I'm not very computer savvy, but have managed to persuade my young fella to post a photo of our car, a Mk I 1969 Replica.

Steve and Felicity

P.S. Leigh Pub has closed down, so I have more free time to work on car.

Re: Newb from Leigh, NZ

Hello Steve Welcome to our world, would love to call round and have a nosey, we have a place at Algies Bay so quite handy. Are you a member of any local club, ie Sports Car Club of NZ as there is a lot of help available if needed.
Cheers and flick us a contact.
