Hi All New Builder
Shadowcaster - 31/7/08 at 07:32 PM

Hello to everyone, just started my build of a Haynes Roadster. Been looking here and the Roadster Forum and you all seem like an amiable bunch of nutters. Looking foward to the build and will be asking loads of questions as I get along with it

Cheers Rich

First rule of this forum is don't get suckered into answering any question regarding CEC or BEC.

Trust me on this!

Thanks for the welcome, as for engine I'm still undecided. most likely a Pinto for ease but I like the sound of the Zetec or a K series but modding the ally sump and making it leak free worries me a bit on the Zetec and not to keen on the price of the adapter plate for the K series. I'm not going to use a doner car will instead look for stuff as I need them not as cheap maybe but for me a more practical solution.

Plenty of time to change his mind yet then. Someone offer him a ride in a BEC when he lets us know where he is

Hey - wots all this being nice and welcoming or even talking to Noobie's on the site? Surely we should do wot they do on nearly every other forum - totally ignore every post until they've made at least 500 of them .....

Is it me or is that wot tends to happen elsewhere - unless you're one of the 'regulars' ... really pisses me off....

Anyway - welcome, plenty of overly helpful people on here ....

purdy - 2/8/08 at 05:13 PM

hi welcome mate

im new to and ive just finnished my build,
Wish i had joined when i 1st started.

the main thing is dont worry about the sva its a breeze go for the test when you think you are ready.. you will fail 1st time but its only £35 notes for a retest and they give you all the problems to solve... mainly sharp edges and taty little things

All the best Purdy
