    AK Build Update

    I've spent quite a lot of time in the garage over the last 3 months (flipping cold up north in the winter you know!) and have made some real progress at last.

    The to do list is starting to get shorter, it's basically wiring, interior, paint, wheels and "getting stuff working" now. I can see the finish line now ... if only I had the £4k-£5k needed to finish it off. Let's hope my next commission statement is a big one

    I've been roughly to the stage you're at Kev. The soul destroying bit is taking it all apart again to get it painted!

    Yes, I know what you mean. Your paint looks the dog's bollox by the way. Gonna be a nice car that when you're done!

    Hi Kev
    Looking good.
    It will all be worth it when that huge commission cheque comes in.
    What size/pattern wheels are you looking for?
    Cheers
    Kevin

    Looking good Kev,

    I am quite a way behind your build but have some garage credits this weekend so will be dialling in the bellhousing & fitting the gearbox, (hopefully).

    Regards,
    Martyn

    Hi Kev
    I am green with envy, but car is green, pink, yellow and gray (filler, primer and fibreglass).
    We now have 2 wheels and ryres fitted.
    We are trying to save up the last £500 ish for paint, 2 rear tyres, and odds/sods.
    Cheers
    Kevin
