Hey everyone,

 

I know my kits, but there's never harm in learning more and I learn so much from your build posts so keep them coming!

 

I've been helping out my neighbour (who is also our client) with his Robin Hood repairs and I've loved every minute of it, I am insured to drive it and have been out for a couple of blats - even though it's my first time back in a manual since passing my test many years ago 😄 so yes, before you ask, I did stall it more than once hahahaa. 

 

On a serious note, this is just an example of how important it is for me to fully learn about what we insure because just selling a product isn't what we are about, we are so proud to be a part of your community, tag along to meets and hang out with you at events - because that's what the kit world is about, getting out and enjoying the cars and their journeys.

 

But here we go, my little gearbox change adventure! https://blog.aplan.co.uk/robin-hood-gearbox-change/ 

 

Please share your builds below! I love to see them!

 

Carlie

 

P.s. see you at Stoneleigh

Thanks Chris! It was a real insight and I learnt so much, I will never touch the spaghetti junction that is electrics though 🤣

 

Before bolts got dropped on my face...

 

 

And after 🤣

Bolts dropped in face, using a jack as a headrest, a true petrol-head!! Although you seem to be doing better than most; your knuckles still have skin on!
