Hi All - not sure if it exactly qualifies as Locost like the Haynes Roadster etc, but are you guys interested in seeing the build diary for this?
If not, I won't gum up the forum, and its here anyway: Release The Raptor

Thanks!

I'd just like to say hello and welcome to our community. We are an eclectic bunch and are avidly interested in any builds, not just sevenesques and we like pictures. Lots of pictures.

I for one would be very interested to follow your progress as you take the well trodden path of the highs and lows that we all experience along the way. You are tapping into a huge data base and if your experience matches mine you'll find the folk on here patient, generous and always willing to offer help and advice. Unique really and very special.

Hi,

welcome to our madhouse !!

Is your car on the road yet, I couldn't tell from the blog, just wondering as there are still a few drives out in the south and southeast along with other kit car drivers via SKCC.

I'm not there yet, but getting closer each weekend !!

Ha! Not even close, I should be getting my chassis in the next few weeks!

Fair enough, There's lots of inspiration on here to good luck with your build, as it's a full based type kit, you shouldn't have too many problems that the factory should be able to help you with, the community here will always help out if they can.

Keep us updated with posts and if possible links to pics and we'll help as we can

Don't believe so. The chassis is a different size I think.

Operative word "was". All now fabricated in house.
I don't know if the body panels come from the same place as MK get them from. Possible I guess.
