Seeking a Kit car mechanic near bucks
Hi guys, I am currently actively looking to buy a bec kit car , Likely an mk indy. However as I don't have any mechanical know how, as soon as
I've found the right car I will be seeking someone to carry out some work for me.
What work exactly will depend on the car, but likely to be a few cosmetic mods, possibly things like fitting a detachable steering wheel, roll cage,
electronic reverse and possibly a few bits and pieces that are a bit more mechanically involved.
With this said can anybody recommend a garage in the south east that could carry out the work or if there is anyone on here who would be interested in
doing some work please give me a shout! I am of coarse willing to pay someone a decent rate to carry out any work.
Cheers!
Graham

Hi Ian I am in chesham, so not too far from Bicester..
I currently have my eye on an mk that a forum member has offered me at a not too bad price, but it needs a couple of small bits and pieces plus some
other custom work that I would want to add to it, if you or anyone else whos local is interested in doing the work please send me a private message
and I will send all the info I have and perhaps I could get a ball park quote for how much you'd charge and how long it would take?
Thanks

snodhurst service station would be my first choice. Dick and his boys there are all kit car nuts, they are fair and square and the quality of their
work is spot on and very fairly priced.
Anything With Tits or Wheels Will cost you MONEY!!

i live in chesham as well 
i have used MSG in aston clinton so far but will be checking out DWR (dave woods racing) as a friend works there. Gav from MSG was Dave Wood's
mechanic when he was in BSB so he knows his stuff also
Agree with the above PDQ in taplow has also b good reviews, im getting them to map my power commander and quickshift in once i find the money.
If you need any bodywork doing let me know my good friend owns a bodyshop in Chalfont St Peter. He's done a few kit cars now around the area
including mine
This is mine i doubt youll have to keep your eyes open too much to spot it around chesham

Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated.
gtr_garner, that kit looks awesome, what is it? Also, I wonder if we know each other/ I know who you are?! It's not that big of a place after
all.

Hey Graham,
I've lived in chesham (well chartridge) the majority of my life.
The kit is an Mk GT1, it's only been around chesham a few times because I keep it in a secure unit elsewhere but you may have seen my other past
cars (red r33 gtr) or my daily - black e92 m3 with black wheels.
Who knows we may well know each other we may not!

ha, small world! I'm pretty sure I know who you are, you've got a personalised plate not too disimilar to your user name often parked up
in Amersham (I remember as the number plate is very memorable and pass on the way to work and i've seen the car around quite a bit.) I think I
was in the year above you at CHS!

I'm no expert with wiring as this is just a hobby! i have stripped a few bike looms down and fitted a immobilizer without any issues
as long as you have a wiring diagram it's not that difficult
