Thanks Sean the pack keep us busy at times but wouldn't have em any other way. I've got a load of Cleco's now for the side panels etc, I've been reading and studying so many builds its great to see what's helpful. I'll have a think about the stands, at the moment I'm planning on just keeping it...

Thanks Neil, the hands feel a little sore this morning but not to bad actually. I'm weirdly now considering leaving the air riveter and saving the money towards another part of the car :) but I'm undecided yet. The dogs are good as gold, most of the time, they have a set routine, we work them...

Hi everyone So I've not a lot to show here yet, but thought I would start my build log. Picked up my chassis #66 last week, I have most of the panel set, just waiting for a few other bits and I have loads of other stuff on order, but until they arrive I thought I'd get a start on the floor pan...

Hi Simon, thats very kind thank you :) I might just take you up on that as the build progresses :)

Thanks Shaun I've been looking at one of those :) and def have an air rivet gun on the list

Thanks, they might be a little out of my budget for this project at the moment at least. But I'll definitely have a look at better specs and bear that in mind. I had a similar situation here, everyone thought I was mad building another car and this one as well as its quite a bit more of an...

OK, so you probably just saved me buying a naff compressor so I will look again! I know the feeling about the garage, I've had to buy another shed for the garden to move a lot of the dog racing stuff from the G in to the shed! the wife wasn't overly impressed but came around in the end, phew...

Thanks Neil, yes i've been reading through a lot of the post and comments, it's very helpful, thank you

I'll make note of that. I'd seen a post about cheap rivets so will look to get decent ones. I don't have a compressor yet, but its on the list, hopefully looking at one on the weekend, in-between work! Ah see I don't mind the cold, prefer being warm, its true but I used to love hiking and doing...

Ah thanks mate, thats very kind and will do. Good shout out on the dyna file, I hadn't thought of that. I have a mini shopping list of things to get before I start, for starters I don't have any rivets! and only a hand held riveter! lots to sort first. Ah yes I guess as well being in the army...

Thats cool, we'll be able to compare progress and build logs as we go. I'm agree, I'm really impressed and love how people are so helpful on here its a great community. I spent a few hours today just reading through posts about getting starting and what to do, how and things to look for. It's...

Yes, the shop seemed pretty manic. It's great at the moment for me as I'm literally down the road from him, gutted he was selling up but understand why after all these years and AK have a gd rep so I'm sure its in good hands. Seeing his car sold it for me. I'd seen a few others at Thruxton but...

Ah yes quite possibly, I was in the same position the week previous, I umm and arrr'ed and by the time I went back the 1st chassis I was offered was gone, so I snapped the other one up :) I saw one being built today and there's another one on order straight after, Micks very busy in there at the...

I haven't yet, but I am planning too. I wanted to get started before I posted so I'd have to write about :) ... Drill bits, Rivets and sikaflex is on order ready for the first panel ... then I'll start my build blog ... thank you

Hey James, I must have just got in there before you, my chassis was one on pre-order but it didn't happen so I snapped it up last week! It's tucked up away nicely in the garage with most of the panels, just waiting on some materials and break in work before I get started :)

Hi everyone Picked up my SGT chassis #66 this week, got a few other bit coming but really looking forward to getting stuck in, very nervous about it but looking forward to it. I'm based in Waltham Chase, UK and met Morten today down at the factory. So first question, can anyone recommend a...
