Mark (smokey mow) Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Welcome to the club forum Dave have you collected you kit yet, or are you still apprehensively waiting for collection day ? Quote
daveq92 Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 Hi all ,yes I have my starter kit collected in march and started it two weeks ago,I have the panels on, pedals on front brake pipes clipped top and bottom front wishbones on and all the bushes fitted so far.just doing bits and bobs when I get chance Quote
Ben-H Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Welcome Dave. Enjoy the build. I got my spax shocks and springs for a Westfield, so not sure of the lengths unloaded. Quote
daveq92 Posted June 1, 2014 Author Posted June 1, 2014 No pictures to post yet its just a frame lol Quote
BenD Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 welcome to the club. i will be keeping an eye on this thread as i am eagerly awaiting my collection in July. Quote
Ben-H Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 +1 for frame pictures. I was almost disappointed when I put the bodywork on mine, covering up all that nice aluminium and riveting! Did anyone else experience this or am I just odd !! Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I ran my first build for six or seven years with the framework and aly visible inside, just 'cause I loved the look of it! Quote
BenD Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 i dont think you can beat a bit of metal on show lol Quote

Ben-H Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Create a photobucket account, then upload your pictures there. Copy and paste the link from photobucket into your post here. There's a good 101 here somewhere, sure someone will be along with the link soon Quote
