Introduction
Hello there boys and girls.
Thought I would post a little introduction before bombarding you with questions.
My name is Sean, and I am contemplating building myself a locost type car. Many moons ago I read the Ron Champion book, and whilst it looked smart, I
was lacking in the fabrication skills and tooling to construct it.
Now however, after having to quite scuba diving, I needed a new way of spending money. So, I have started tidying my garage, and filling it with
tools.
So, now I have a nice shiny new welder to replace my manky old one, plus drill press, evolution chopsaw, bench grinder etc. plus a load of measuring
and marking out tools.
And, I now know how to use them all
So, my thoughts have been turning towards getting a new project for when the current one is finished (current project is a honda VTR1000
streetfighter, with single sided swingarm, underseat exhaust etc.)
Obviously, the project I am thinking of is a little open top sports car thingy, more than likely the haynes roadster, as the book is pretty good, and
I like the idea of IRS.
Well, enough about me, I'm sure I will have plenty of questions for you all soon
Cheers
Sean

"more than likely the haynes roadster, as the book is pretty good, and I like the idea of IRS."
God bless you and the cheque's in the post!
Seriously though, welcome and you'll find everything you need either here or on the Haynes forum, link below
Cheers
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!
