Would be good to know who is going and what day, I'll be a week in to my build and probably scratching my head on a few bits so it would be good to put some faces to names.....:yo:

Hi guys, not introduced myself yet... i feel a little inadequate on the build front as i cheated and acquired Graham's build (grayone). Since then been planning some `minor` body mods and the cars with Chris for some of his magic.
After that it needs a respray, service, minor (hopefully) electrics, chassis bracing, interior and.. maybe ready for a run to Stoneleigh on the Sunday. If i make it, it would be great to meet some of you after following your posts on here.

Hi Stephen. Your car is going into the workshop tomorrow and Sunday for it's mods, so will post some pics on a new tread soon.

Apologies to everyone for my lack of Forum activity but sheer volume of orders and car builds has meant very little spare time for anything else but work. I do love the work, which helps :bounce:

Without your work we would not even be where we all are now, pressing on with our own builds and facinated by other builds, keep up the good work it is well recived, by builders, enthusiasts and onlookers alike!

Yup, still here!! REALLY warm here, shirts off all day, 16 degrees. Although I am here under duress, because it is work related. Here for a week. Fitting an engine in a yacht, except its stuck in customs!! Ho ho. Lots of other work to do, plus the beer is really, no I mean REALLY cheap! Hic

I thought those yacht things had sails? What do they need an engine for? Or are you sticking a V8 in it? Enjoy the beer and the sun, -9 here (it feels like it).

No, not a clue! The peice nearest the camera has some interesting shapes going on, cant place it though. I guess that I will just have to come along to the show and take a look.

Body kit for a Camaro...?
Yes of course Yachts have engines. The wind never blows from where you want, or its nit enough to get you there before the restaurant shuts. That's why most salirs use the 'Solent rig' ie, main up and sheeted in, engine on. Its sort of a cross between pretending to sail and being in denial!

That first mould looks like some sort of mid engine thing??
