    No chance Simon, You'll need to be a grand old age, well into three figures to be close to that record.... How far have you got with the build?

    I told My wife this would be something for doing when I retire, Thinking I could slip out to the garage when she not looking and get the thing slung together for the end of next year at the rate I'am going it will take the next 20 years till I retire to build it then I,ll never get in the dam thing.
    Good luck

    Well it's going along at a pace (slow) When I bought the car it was built for a Honda engine, In my enthusiasm I had the chassis powered coated then decided that Honda was not the route to go. chassis returned to manufacturer and
    rear end cut of and replaced with Alfa engine mounts and revised suspension mountings. Currently the engine is fitted, the centre section is fitted, all suspension is on and most of the water pipes are in. Currently waiting for the drive
    Shafts to be manufactured then I will start on the electrics, or the doors, or the hydraulics, or what takes my fancy.

    My kit was originally made back around 1990, but was never completely built, it has passed through many hands before ending up with me last May. I have ever intention of completing this kit finally, with some luck that will be sometine next year in time for a summer drive. So far the most time has been waiting for parts. It would be nice if I could find out the missing parts all at once, but that never happens. I'm getting close to having everything now, so I can get down to painting and then assembly. Good luck with your kit, don't take too long.
