MadaboutKitcars

Sorry , I can't help myself ! Lots of snippets of info from Tribute followed by a month of nothing being posted . The 275 is likely to be the best kit to date from Chris and Dan , I will be placing an order as soon as my current project is complete.

Anyway , I thought we were all being civilised to each other after all the ranting and toys being thrown every where earlier in the year !

Hmm, "Lucky Lemon" , a Freudian slip if ever I saw one !

DAMN THAT SPELL CHECK !!

Sorry , no offence meant ....if you knew my humour , you'd understand ....to put it bluntly , I can be a knob sometimes ...

I have seen the 275 develop on my many visits. It really is an impressive looking body.

But I also know that Chris never intended to take it further than the one he was commissioned to make.

Now Dan has taken over but I think he will produce a spyder version. As the coupe models adds many challenges to the build.

Chris and Dan always have a full schedule, Lancelot and myself understand their workload and we tend to try to show the reality of the situation.

These bodies take many months and sometimes years from initial idea to final product.
There are only so many hours in a day and priority is given to paid work.

So paying a deposit or preferably in full is how to get your job allocated.

As we all know building one project consumes lots of our time.

Chris and Dan are juggling projects in double figures.

Most of their work passes through the workshop and out to the customer without a pic or a mention on here.

So hopefully, no ranting or name calling just the reality of the work that happens behind closed doors.

Saw this car today at OLD NO. 7 HQ ... Realy like the way its going ..proportions are looking good ..

Hi, next time some one is near this car would u please take some photos so we can see the progress from the other side of the world
Thanks in advance
Steve

I would have done mate but not knowing if the Dan was ready to update the latest progress , I didn't feel it was my place ...I can tell you though it was looking pretty good ..

[SIZE="3"]Z3 area behind seats - what to do ?



Front end with restored cross member now in T de F blue



out in our sunday best[/SIZE]

Hi can the front crash beam stay in place and still have enough clearance This will depend on which kit I can purchase

Thanks Steve

[SIZE="3"]We plan to keep both front & rear carriers / inner bumpers; they will be useful for some mounting points.

Yesterday I cleaned, etch primed and sprayed with black Gravi Gard, stone chip protector, the rear one.[/SIZE]

Hi thanks for the reply, my car is a 1999 2.8 that was imported into NZ which means it has to meet the 2003 front crash regulations, according to our authority we can swap the panels lights and everything else apart from taking off the front crash beam. if it was NZ new I could take it off.

Good morning Egdik , this is my version of the area behind the seats , Geoff .

Im led to believe we will be seeing some positive updates this week ....Looking forward to seeing some pics Daniel ...

Thanks for keeping us informed Steve

I'm not saying a word !

lol Lucky ... I know that tomorrow is being devoted solely to getting a major step forward with the project and when one of the 3 people that's involved , feels like posting some pictures , it will certainly be enough of an update for anyone serious about this option , to be in a position to place an order ...

Enough for someone to put a deposit down? You'll be lucky

I think there will be a few deposits slapped down as soon as it's available. If I had a bit of spare cash I would have been one of them.

I will be that man soon as I've finished and sold my Triumph Roadster. Seats are back from the trimmers, body is ready for paint, I've got all the parts ready to go back on the car so getting close.

Dan will be posting some pictures over the weekend.

They may be his holiday snaps! LOL

I'm hoping this will be my first kit car project. :-)

Also one of the people at my company owns a Nart and a 275 coupe (the real cars and not kit form)

Every year he allows a few select individuals to come and see his collection (just have to make a smallish donation to charity).
What a top guy , however the pity is no camera allowed.

Roll on the weekend. Still hoping for a coupe version. :-)

I know the idea was to offer a soft top only but as they already have the roll cage for the 250................ Can't be too different, just bit more expensive.

Yes depending on the difficulty my plan is to either fit myself or get a boat restorer to do the job.
I'm going with a boat restorer/repairer as there are loads of them where I live and also the fact that most the good boat guys are experts in dealing with FiberGlass. I figured that option would be better than a normal car body shop.
