Don't get a naff compressor either mate if you can get one with about 14cfm you can drive pretty much anything of that. Size ain't a big issue depends how much you use it. (not sure if your missus will agree ) 100l should be a nice size. I've got a 200l one but I paint bits and pieces with it...

Also an air powered grinder is great for nice precise cuts. On regards to rivets don't cheap out get yourself some decent ones. I'm going to get aircraft grade ones most definitely overkill but that's just because it's what I know. Pneumatic riverters are cheap as chips mate. I assume you've got...

Fantastic going to give that a read tommorow. Already read 3 full build logs today hahaha. Thanks mate

Absolutely there is some cracking advice on here. If you need a hand when paneling ping me a message mate, get yourself a dyna file and some skin pins mate will make your life easy. Sounds like a race to me then hahaha only joking. Probably won't be able to make much of a start on mine till the...

Yep he's sent it. Going to have a read through. Everyone is so helpful it's fantastic

Mines yet to drive need to get a prop made up for it. But just haven't had the time. Work and whatnot. Trying to make the best out of the last bit of nice weather before it all gets cold. How cool is that! Lotus cortina too. Wow! Be worth a few quid these days. I expect my e30 to be worth around...

I've not been down to the workshop yet but popped round the house to see his motor! And like you it sold itself. as all production will be moving up to Peterborough its ideal for me as up the road. As the 7 hour round trip to Southampton was not ideal... Especially trying to conserve diesel...

Yeah mick is rushed off his feet. Seems there is a massive influx of people wanting chassis before he retires. How long are you wanting it to take? The only 40 I've seen is micks. I've joined the enthusiasts club and hope to meet up with people and have a chat with them. I'm a big bmw fan boy...

I believe this chassis was offered to me last week but I was mulling over my options. Don't have space for a chassis yet as I've got a BMW e30 in its place at the moment. Lovely stuff got any pics? I'm intending to cut and shape all the pannels myself. Can't wait to make a start!

Lovely stuff yeah be interesting to price up both crate engine and custom built.what route did you go down? I'll check pms

Following this keenly. I've got chassis 72 on order mate! Cannot wait

Thanks mate. Ideally want to rebuild one myself but I suppose it's an option if I can't find one in time. But I'm surprised how cheap they are

Yes mick told me to go down the Injection route. I think I will do. Yep plan to go Renault box with a 302. Bloody love an e21 aswell. Sadly I'm not old enough to have seen e30s on the road daily. I would love an alpina, but they are silly money I could build something similar for much less. My...

Lovely stuff! I'll keep an eye out. I spoke to mick he advised builting it up to a 331 or 347. Just keeping an eye out for one now. If you see of one about mate please let me know and I'll jump on it!

I've been going through as many as I can find. Love it. I met mick and carrol at the Weekend and what they don't know isn't worth knowing. Lovely couple! I'm in Suffolk mate but willing to travel anywhere for a chinwag I'm going to make the panels myself as I'm an aircraft engineer by trade so...

Started reading through in my lunch break mate. Going to go through it when Im back home! Trying to gain as much Info as I can. Especially in regards to panneling. Did you buy the panneling kit or cut them yourself

Fantastic! Thank you very much. Much needed loo reading! Can't wait to get started now

The link doesn't seem to work anymore mate?

Hello all, went down to southern gt at the weekend and have my heart set on one now! I know there is no build documentation for this. But I believe there is a gtd one knocking about. Just after it for a bit of toilet reading to get the general gist. Has anyone got a copy floating around they...

Thanks yes my age is against me. I work in the army so that's not doing me favours either. But like you say I'll be insuring 3 cars under my name so should be able to wangle a discount. I think it's a bridge I'll cross when I get there. Until then research and enjoy the process or building. But...
