Information for my website

Hi all,

I've started to work on updating and completing my website. Im putting the various stages of the build on the site along with hints tips, etc. I thought that rather than just include my own experience I could also include everyone elses as everyone picks up different problems and solutions.

I know in the past Dave and others have expressed an interest in putting something like this together. I'm happy to pay for the website and do the grunt work all I need is input from all you guys who have built the Dax Tojeiro.

Would you be interested in replying your hints, tips, mistakes, etc to my build info requests via posts? I would be doing 1 build section at a time therefore just a small amount of info required each time I post

Hi Colin,
I think this is a great idea and will give you something to do now your car is finished. I am sorry that as my build was a Hawk, I will be unable to contribute, but I'm sure it will be a great help to builders in the future, not just Dax builders but all makes.

Bogster m8,
I would be happy to push some info your way, but it would be more related to a modifications section. i.e. All the hassle and pain from fitting my Big Block when the car was RV8 powered. I have been wondering what would be the best way of making the info gleaned available to others.

Hi Colin

I'd be glad to help any way I can

Started my De Dion in March this year so everything should still be fresh in the mind

Hey Bogster

Great idea, am early on in my build but happy to contribute ideas and pics of those stages I've done. The build manual is fine as far as it goes but to be honest I get more from reading posts here.

Have noticed readinf the forum that builds can be inconsistent, some things I was expecting to be easy were a pain and vice versa. Reminds me of that happy day, gently bending the clutch pedal with no1 adjusting tool to get it to pass footbox!

Thanks

Appreciate the response folks. I'll let the pole run another few days but it looks like a definite yes from everyone so far!

I'll start off next week with requesting infor and any good pics for the installation of the front suspension (i.e. wishbones, cc & ar system, wheel hubs, etc).

Thanks everyone
