Lol.
This is becoming abit worrying and exciting at the same time!!!
Just seeing who's in the region for advise, support, bouncing ideas off and meets. I'm sure I can help many people with my EPS, electronic
and software experience and I'm sure other people could help me with their hardware and mechanical expertise.
Dad - where you work and what interesting work do you do?

I'm a design engineer for my sins, interesting - no! I work in redditch and any excuse to break up the journey home is good! Where abouts in the
b'ham area are you?
How far are you along with your build? I failed my IVA a couple of months ago and im just about ready to take it for a retest.

My side of Birmingham, I live in Harborne.
My Tiger is already registered, I brought it prebuilt because I'm not mechanically interested (I don't like doing engines or mechanics) my
interest is electronic. I have for the last year rewiring my car, now this interest me!!
I'm in the proceeds of doing a post of where I was and where I am with my tiger because I have done something which I think is unique and never
seen it on a kit car before.
Have you got any pictures of your car?

Never judge a book as they say!
I'm not sure Jason was looking for marital (or otherwise) help - a different forum might be in order if so.

Well if you ever need a hand with the oily bits I don't mind getting my hands dirty so let me know! Good idea buying one already built the
registration process is a long drawn out procedure.
We should try and get a localish meet going sometime

Hi Jason,
I am in the Northfield area, currently am building very slowly a GTS panther, it is a rolling chassis (wheels, steering etc) and I am just in the
process of working out the electrics. I have a PWS loom and have managed to connect it into the sierra switchgear and my instruments. Haven't
been brave enough to connect it up to a battery yet :-) Eventually I need to drop the Pinto in and then work out connecting the megajolt and zx9r
carbs.
It's a slow process with life and work getting in the way, but may give you a shout if I get stuck in the electrics which I'm sure I will
do

Hi
I'm in Brum just down from spaghetti junction carpark. Doors always open and kettle on.
Usually got one or two interesting projects in the workshop.
Cheers Matt

Thanks Nick205, I think the desperate requirement for a picture of my wife's says a thousands words..... maybe some of these people should
register onto Tinder.
Daf, nice looking motor, you do know it's rear wheel drive and having the front wheels on a rolling road might not do anything for you!! Yeah,
I'm not a mechanic so would never of built one myself, but have got better with my tinkering over the last few years. Thanks for the offer of
help, and right back at you with electrics, electric steering, CANbus or software.
Andy, Your not the person who drives round in an orange Westfield are you. There is a person that lives off Hole Lane with a Westfield, I drove past
a few times and seen it either on his drive or in the garage but never caught him on his drive to stop and have a chat. My mates keep waving at him
thinking he is me!!
I used to live just off Bunbury Road and my daughter goes to St. Bridget's, so know Northfield well. We defiantly need to meet up, and yes, if
you need any help with electrics give us a shout. Got most of the tools that could probably help.
Matt, nice to hear from you. Yes, hopefully now I know 2 or 3 local heads we can start bouncing off each other.
Jason.

No the orange one isn't me, I have spotted it around but didn't realise it was from Hole lane. Mine has no engine and hasn't moved
from the garage in a good few years :-)
I live on Norman road just off the Bunbury road, just opposite Hole lane.
Currently just trying to wire up the loom, have the switchgear and instruments wired up. Want to get the loom connected to try out a few things
(lights etc.) ... a bit nervous about connecting it up to the battery  .... Sure it will be fine!! Will def need some help when wiring up the
megajolt and the engine spur.
Stu (theduck) is another local builder just round the corner.

Indeed, there does seem to be an unhealthy desire for photographic representation of your good lady. I'd doubt she's wanting such imagery
on this (or other) forums. After all (I thought) we came here for a shared love of cars

Just caught sight of this post. I'm in the Kings Heath area (southside Birmingham). The change-over from Xflow to Zetec still needs finishing
(as my Dearly Beloved keeps reminding me!!).
Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!

I know Norman Road well, I lived on Overbury Road by the ally way into Norman Road.
If you need anyone to come and watch and potential laugh when you connect to battery, I'm sure I can make the time
Dick, thanks for getting involved, would also love to meet.
To all, seems like there is a fair few from the South Birmingham Region, we definitely need to use this community base for our cars, as meantioned
beliw, if anyone needs help with electronics, EPS, CANbus etc.. drop us a U2U.
speak soon
