I am just about ready to go and pick the car up finally. The car I had in the garage has been moved into the container along with another I was storing in a temporary garage. The trailer I moved the container parts on has had a bit of a makeover. I've bought a pair of tyres, pair of propstands for the back and a winch. It looks a mess but would be quite nice if I could give it a decent coat of paint. My plan is to leave the Westfield on the trailer and put it in the garage. I don't have room to put the trailer anywhere and it will mean the car is at a better working height. I would have gone to get it today but the weather forecast isn't great and it would be a shame to get it soaked and then have to put it in the garage wet. With any luck and some better weather I might be able to get it next weekend.

Welcome. Chances are it could be a home fabricated “locost” chassis as they often get named on the V5 by the builder 😁

When I bought mine; 6ft & 12st I went along to Toybox and had a coffee and chat with Andrew and Dale. Andrew took the time to explain the differences in cars and sat me in a lowered and standard floored car. He helped me decide my minimum requirements: 1) Lowered or standard floor car 2) Windscreen to keep Mrs M happy and the kids. 3) Zetec/Duratec on throttle bodies 4) Q or non-Q. I originally thought non Q but Andrew convinced me of the advantages of a Q plate. I ended up buying a Q plate, stnadard floor car with a windscreen running a Ford ST170 engine on throttle bodies. I LOVE it. The original seats were Westfield Race Seats on runners. TBH the top of the screen was in my eye line but I have recently changed my seats to a set of JK Composites on runners. I now sit lower in the car and the top of the screen is less of a distraction. My steering wheel is also on a quick release & boss extension.

Not today, but a birthday pressie from Mum & Dad. To be fitted over the holidays hopefully. Lets hope it doesn’t leak 🤪
