One thing I wished I had done when I picked my kit up was to check all the fibre glass,it was all bubble wrapped so I just loaded it and took it
home,couple of the panels were scatched wheh I unwrapped them some time after,it was quiet possible that I might have caused this but in the back of
my mind I wish that I had checked them as if they were scratched on pickup I could have asked for replacements, also get a list of the parts that you
should be getting and checkit off when you collect the kit, you'll be amazed at the amount of people that reolise some parts are missing when
they start the build.

Unless things have changed, MNR don't provide a check list for all parts like some other suppliers (apparently this is one thing which Mac#1 do
very well) so I'd print-off the kit list from the web and tick things off as you load them,

When i collected mine we made a list of parts that we knew were missing, but then as i carried on with the build i found a couple more bits that i was
short, or that were wrong for the combination of parts i was using, but Chris sorted it out nice and quick after i'd told him what i needed

And we are picking up our kit on Monday, so please make sure that you don't accidentally take our LHD VortX with you! 
I plan to bring loads of rags, blankets, foam, tape, ropes, bungee cords, wooden blocks, etc. to make sure that I can securely fasten everything for
the long trip home without damaging parts.
Also, don't forget to bring your donor parts that require modification - if you don't buy them directly from MNR (diff, steering
column...).
I will print out our order form plus the complete parts breakdown from the web.
Take lots of pics and share it with us all!
I wouldn't worry too much, though, but we are soooo excited, too!
Good luck with the build! See which one of us finishes first!

Seen Both your chasis while on a quick 'Cuppa visit' on Tuesday both look very  ..
Some old cardboard boxses are a good addition for either putting things in or using to stop things rubbing togeteher

Wish I could, I have got a very important meeting at 11:30 in London so 7:15 train on Monday morning  I hope rug rat has got through his
teathing.
Anyway wishing you all the best for collection and build.
Dont rush it and enjoy the whole experience.
PS regarding the dogs - bob will stick his nose in your builders bum ( if you have one ) its a strange experience but he is only being freindly
.
