Been a bit slow due to other commitments and work getting in the way of the build, but with a little help with the measure twice cut once part of the panels i have made some progress. One side done and i am quite happy that it has gone together ok so far without and c**k ups. Chassis is still...

Looks good nick, wish i had the confidence in my own welding to do that. Andrew

Hi Nick, yes Darren does come up with the goods, and the Chassis looks good. Not got a far as the brakes yet, but will need to start giving it some thought, probably 6 pots, i just wanted to get bits on the garage floor before i got to far ahead. 200l was worth the extra, I have a regulator...

Nick, let me know if you want me to send you some of this rubber sheet i have here. Just let me know how much, i have meters of the stuff. Andrew

Finally made some progress with the help of a mate who can't seem to keep away now the car has arrived ! Got the floor pan cut and fitted today which was much more than i expected, but two hands make light work as they say. Was very handy to have someone else there questioning everything i did...

Garage is not as spacious as it used to be ! Sorry, pictures were taken on phone so low res. Just checking over all the bits to make sure i have all the bits, work out a plan of action and then will start putting it together. And yes, I have done the normally accepted thing and sat in it and...

That may well happen ! A

Been a while since i have posted, mainly due to not yet having got the car. That is all about to change. Car is due tomorrow. Have been busy, reading, shopping, and spending an obsene amount of money on a 200L compressor and a host of air tools....drills, riviters, grinders and nibblers Also...

I like them, and i think they could be adapted to take wheels. Shame about the postage cost, may be temped to break out the welder and hve a crack at a couple myslef. A

I was planning to do so Jim, what size is yours. I am not sure how big or small to go and what height. Andrew

Get the bike out now and ride it ! Thats going to be a tight fit. Andrew

I was planning that, but i do like the idea of being able to roll it outside to work on in the good weather. Andrew

I can imagine how the bike become useful tables, but what did you do ? Andrew

I think you are right, a clean and change of oil and a quick turnover maybe the way forward. Opening it up may do more harm than good. Andrew

Picked up an Audi 01E gearbox of the internet with 60K miles on the clock. You can never tell but it appears to be in good condition, but has sat for a year or two and not turned over. Planning to open it up and give it a bit of a rebuild, although i doubt it will need it, but would hate to put...

SBF302 and the Audi 01E, thats the plan.... Going to start hunting soon. Andrew

I am going to burst when it gets here ! Just going to content myself with getting the garage and the tools sorted out first. Im am lucky enough to have a triple garage, but think the wifes car is going to have to live outside during the summer. Have attached a couple of pictures of the garage...

So far, Mk 1 body, maybe need gurney bubble. Will be trying to stick to original spec where possible including the wheel and knock on spinners, but they are away off yet. Are you building the Gt Forte too ? What stage you at ? Just got the manual yesterday, but not had time to read it yet. Andrew

Ok, maybe a bit early to start the build thread but i am too excited. Order is placed and kit is due 1st June 2014. This is the long awaited realisation of a long held dream to have one of these iconic cars ever since it caprtured my heart when i was a small boy in the late 60's. So I have...

Yes Paul, had at look at Southern GT also (but did not visit) they where quite a bit more money ! But again looked good. Andrew
