Hi Chris
Good to meet you last week.
Definitely want to build one. Now just need to sell the Porsche, sort the garage, and get one ordered. Chris said to give him a shout in a couple of
weeks for a run out in one though.
Really impressed with the chassis quality and pretty sure it will be an inboard RT R1 engined with a full cage. Liked the orange as well !

No keeping your car. I happened to mention to the guys that I was thinking of a bike engined powered car for hill climbs and sprints and they said
they had a part built available.

Well i'm glad i took the advice of going up to meet Chris, Marc, Bob, mclaren, and fifi (i think)
Me and Lisa popped up on saturday, well not so much popped 4 hrs later we arrived!
anyway 3hrs later and a few coffee's and tea's, some made by me!
i've gone and done it, i've left a deposit for an RT-Inboard. i'm hoping to go for R1 injection, if my budget will allow!
we really enjoyed our visit, i now know i've made the right choice
now to find them donor parts

The RT Inboard seems to have got very popular! Do people know something that I don't!?
Good choice mate - the R1 injection is a quality motor. I just didn't fancy doing the wiring for one. Hence why I'm on carbs!

Well i thought i'd post an update.
i picked up my kit wednesday,( big thanks to Chris/Marc) had a couple of days sorting out the garage.
i started the build this weekend, and i feel knackered already!
i've only managed to fit the bulkhead panels, the brake line master to rear riveted it,(can't do the ones of the T piece as i think the
connectors are wrong way round!) run one the fuel lines. and kinked the other! is it normal to feel like i've not achieved anything in the 16hrs
i've worked on the car 
i do have couple questions, i'm going to have injected R1 engine so where would i put the fuel pump, am i right in thinkin it needs to run in
between the fuel line in?
also can i just use 8mm copper pipe from BQ to replace the one i kinked? (if i can't get the kink out that is)
looking forward to going to work for a rest

Fuel pump would go at the rear, that's what the build manual says anyway.
B&Q pipe is fine as long as it is the same internal diameter.

Yep i see that now! sometimes it's good to flick a few pages futher on!

Yes i'm sure we did pick them up the same day.
You are way ahead of me. I am just finishing off remaking the footwell panels as the passenger side had a cut out for a chassis member that is no
longer there on the new chassis. I could have fitted the original and filled the gap with PU adhesive but I am a bit of a perfectionist so I decided
to remake it. I'm just finishing the drivers side to match, hope to have them fitted tomorrow night.

Fantastic news that you picked up the kit and got started John. I've started stripping the 'Busa (fairing off and traced oil leak to
external oil pipe). Will trailer it to Daytona's shortly to get the engine/swingarm locknuts removed. Thanks again for suggesting and speaking
to Daytona's for me. Will probably order new external oil pipes from them for the refurb (unless anyone knows of a cheap source of 'Busa
engine parts). We must get together for that pint some time soon! Yours Clive.

Clive if you fancy popping over some time to take a peek your more than welcome,
you might see things that will help you get a better result... as long as you don't take the wee to much with my pipe bending skills!
ps i didn't type wee

Hi John,
Absolutely, I'm travelling next week but maybe the following week? Don't expect too much though, the phrase 'the blind leading the
blind' comes to mind, at least in terms of my knowledge and experience of car building!
Yours, Clive!
