Hello Everyone, Hope you are all well and looking forward to helping me with my many questions that will surely be posted over the coming months , but hopefully not Years. My name is Mark and have been looking to build my own kit for decades, but due to financial and time constraints have never really got it off the ground. The kids have finally left the nest , so no more running around after them and for some unknown reason the finances also look better. My mechanic skills are limited, changed brakes, differentials, universal joints and even repaired a wiring loom for my Spitfire after it had a bit of an electrical fire. We've gone for the FW special Edition over three modules mainly because I didn't want to strip a SDV and I don't have the space available to store everything during the build. Had some upgrades ... wide track wishbones, front & rear calipers, sport turbo seats, 4 point harness and heater (recommended by Simon to keep Dawn, my wife, nice and warm). Also had the aluminium panels, brake lines and fuel lines fitted by Westfield. Not intending racing her but more to roam the countryside during weekends ... Picked her up on Saturday (4/11/2017) and is now proudly sitting in the garage. Sunday was the first day and already hitting questions. Thanks to the previous build blogs we know that the 'indicator relay' does not fit through that hole ... how did everyone get round putting it through the hole? Thanks for reading Mark

Huge thanks to everyone who donned a blue tee and got on with the weekend. It was as slick as I've ever seen it and of course very impressive from all angles as ever. Special mention to this year's organising team @Trevturtle, @marcusb and @Stuart Faulkner - Shows & Events Coordinator for putting on a great show and organising all the show kit. You made it look easy, I know it isn't - thank you.
