That makes a Robin Hood look pretty!
Never thought I'd say that....
Once I've finished a project why do I start another?

Agree with John...
Come off it guys, let's not slag someone's hard work. That's Blatchat territory:

Especially when they're probably a member/lurker here.
Cheers,

I wasn't trying to slag some ones hard work........Ok ,I WAS.
But seriously if the owner/builder is on the forum & makes himself known, I'll offer a full apology.
But come on.. He lists one of its good points as, & I quote " looks good"
On a more serious note, the dash looks really quite good, TBH the build quality looks ok too. IMHO it it spoilt by terrible body proportions.
AND as has already been pointed out, its on the road well before I will be

quote from advert
"This kit car has been based on the Ron Chapman lo-cost design"
this explains a lot of un answered questions for me, as I obviously built my car from the wrong book !!
Having checked my car and book, mine is built from a Ron champion book
bugger
I will have to build another one

nop reason why people should not express their opinion
I agree with the other, it is not the prettiest but there have and will beworse looking ones, and again, the owner has achieved somethign that a lot
of us haven't, that is to get something on the road, is his case rather unique.
An encounter with Mr grinder and Mrs Welder shold sort it out - think the nose could do with being lengthened.

02GF74, surely your mr and mrs thing should be the other way round....
Mr Welder produces something constructive, strong and reliable.
Mrs Grinder wont stop until broken, particulary with us guys, can be extremely dangerous, costs a lot of money if you want one that you can
enjoy more than twice and whats more sparks always fly!
Point proved?

I've seen that before somewhere.
I'm sure it's been on ebay before. I'd have preferred the Spitfire.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

"I'd have preferred the Spitfire."
Even if it was rusty?
I love the Spitfire shape and more so the GT6, but they handled like crap due to the swing axle rear, and the rust ..........
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

He's used the Spitfire underpinnings.
So he's still got the crap handling and the rusty chassis.

I used to be able to weld rust to thin air on Hark, my old Triumph Herald.
