starting out . No idea where this build is going to take me but looking forward (at the moment ) to the journey . Any advice more than welcome .

welcome 
as Mr Whippy says, can you weld?
i,m building the Haynes Roadster too, & can honestly say its one of the best things i,ve ever done,
there is also a Forum dedicated to the Haynes Roadster, along with this forum you will find all the answers you,ll ever need from them both.
good luck with your build.

just a quick word on the "book", if you have the revised edition then you,ll be fine , if not then all the revisions are available on the
Haynes forum.
hope this helps.

welcome mate
yeah, problems... lol there'll be plenty of things you'll come across in you build which you just won't be able to work out, but
theres usually someone on here who's done something similar. so donm't be afraid to ask any questions

And watch out for that Chris Gibbs bloke, his eyes are too close together for my liking...
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

How do I know if I have the revised version?
I have noticed one problem in the book, some of the dimensions for the jigs you make are missing... I know there's one for the wishbone,
can't remember any others off hand..
