Sand Dancer Posted August 28, 2015 Author 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. Quote
Kingster Posted August 28, 2015 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
Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted August 28, 2015 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

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
Kingster Posted August 28, 2015 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
Sand Dancer Posted August 28, 2015 Author 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
