Pre built, but will need a few bits and pieces adding I think. Had a look at buying the steel from Talon motorsport but bottled it!! Decided to buy an
aborted project. Could do with advice on how best to organise build

I would start by checking all the welds on the chassis and reweld them if required, check the geometry is all correct. Thats where I'm up to at
present after this I was going to do the following.
Give the chassis a lick of paint.
Fit axel.
Install front suspension.
Steering rack and column mounting
Engine and Gearbox trial fit
Bodywork trial fit
Then everything else.

There are quite a few build diarys in the links section on here at the top of the page, perhaps have a look through and you will get a general idea of
the way forward.
Take your time to do the research it will make the job easier. And as said check your chassis is OK first.
Cheers.
Steve.
