Sand Dancer Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Thanks for the warm welcome!! I am building the car from the full kit package and have a collection date for 7 - 9 October. Hopefully that will give me time to hack the garage out. I plan on giving Simon and Judy a ring to see if all the big bits are available for collection before i book a Luton tailgate van Great news regarding other builders close by and even better news regarding the Church Mouse - it is only 5 miles from my house!! Unfortunately I won't be able to make the September meet - I will still be playing tig with the Taliban!! Advise taken regarding the roll bar - order suitably amended and RAC roll bar added.

Kingster Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 You don't need a Luton & tail-lift - a long wheelbase van will do the job and not as costly to hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Yeah and where you lot last week then Sunning myself, just like I am this week, somewhere about 15 C hotter than where you are I did think about coming back especially for the meeting of course for about 1 nana second between glasses of wine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chris - I was just trying to decide how to manhandle the engine out of the van and into the garage - that is if it is ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Thanks Chris - I was just trying to decide how to manhandle the engine out of the van and into the garage - that is if it is ready. I have an engine hoist and you are be welcome to use it. But, I'd consider buying one - I have used mine so many times and not just for the engine! Note - other essential build item - to power the Air Riveter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand Dancer Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Thanks for the offer - I may well take you up on the initial use of the engine hoist. I am just sorting out the tools I require - I have air tools and metal working gear from when I was building a Zenith 601XL plane in my garage years ago. I need to submit my Birthday and Christmas list to my wife for approval!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
